If I could just speak about Mike's performance this post would be a positive note. Thanks to Mike for patience as I began to really struggle in the second half of the ride and as we turned back to the brewery. He carried the pace the entire way back and I did my best just to hang near him.

Oddly it is my mind that normally has to push the legs from becoming lazy, but this was the rare time the legs were willing to keep spinning despite the pity party that was going on in my mind. At each breath my mind kept saying, "Stop under a shade tree, puke and cry like a spoiled diva." However, the legs just ignored the stomach issue with the urge to throw up and the mind's pity party and kept hanging on Mike's wheel.

All I know is this one is in the books and tomorrow it will soon become a distant memory.
Thanks again to Mike for riding with me today and the past few Saturdays.
