Hi Guys, Had a tough ride yesterday, felt much worse on this 200, than the 300 last month. Might chalk it up to the bike switch, but nutrition, lack of sleep, too many miles and going out too hard all played their part as well. It was really a very nice day, despite higher than forecast winds, and some rain in the last couple of hours. Quite a large pack rolled out at 8am, and from what I understand both the 300K and 200K packs stayed together and rode as a group. I fell of the pace a bit in the 200K towards the end, but Ray stayed with me and kept my miserable self company, I really appreciated that, especially after it started raining. Despite my slower pace got through in exactly 10 hours, which isn't too much slower than my normal 9:30 or so for this length, averaging about 15 something while on the bike. I guess commuting to work is not enough riding to really re adjust to the upright, as my back and shoulders were quite sore today, looks like I might be switching back to the recumbent for the next one. I'm also excited about picking up my new Tour Easy tomorrow! Bud hope everything goes well with the surgery, and congatulations to Greg, Mark, and Peggy for awesome wicked fast rides! Take Care, Nelson.
