The Ride: No doubt some of us need some mental help or at least there were a number of people thinking that we are crazy for doing a 100 plus mile route in near triple digit heat. I am grateful that we did, but then again I had a rare good day on the bike. For some reason I did not rack up my usual training time during the week and that left me feeling a little fresher than my typical state for the Saturday group ride. I did have a saddle sore and some tender knees earlier in the week, but today fortunately it was almost as good as what my friend Gary would say, "a no chain day." Or it was due to Keith doing long pulls in the first half of the ride. I kept thinking, "take us north Keith, take us north."
And north we went as we rolled out of the brewery parking lot just around 7 am with the 5 of us set to see if we could endure this course and the heat combined. My goal starting out was to keep a solid pace to "beat the heat" and both me and Keith were keeping the pace above 18. Some of the roads going up were near Silver Comet flat and the pace line of 5 was smooth as butter. We had quite of few stops along the way, but not really a big deal with this type of heat it was good to stop and refill often. Being that it was an out and back route the store we selected were more than sufficient.
As we closed in on the halfway point and the base of Fort Mountain climb we decided that Mike and I would turn as we saw the first person descending, which we expected would be Keith. Sure enough as Mike and I stopped at a pull off area in the shade we see Keith coming quickly. Now it was our turn to join in on the fun descent and this is a fun descent.
Only problem we have now that the descent is done is 50 mile ride back with the sun in a full beat down on our carcasses. This is when it became a little tougher. What seemed like a lot of shade earlier in the ride out was now gone for the most part. We kept a fairly solid pace until we arrived at the store in Cash to wait for Neal. Keith and I decided to hang around and Mike went with Nancy since she had an afternoon event to attend. After Neal insisted, Keith and me went back together for the remaining 20 miles. I received a call that Neal came in safely. We all endured it. It wasn't pretty, but we did it.
It was tough in some ways, but I did enjoy the ride.
