is unfortunately how I felt halfway through the ride. Too much sun, no sun screen, acia berry (ew) and bad subway just killed it. After that point it was water and G2 but that was all I could take in. Here is a pretty tame pic from around where my road ID was straped.
Up above my knee was swollen 1/8" or so from the non burned skin. So I just gotta remember no matter how tanned my legs might be or the forcast to bring xtra lotion because unfortunately not many places sell it when you need it. The front of my legs feel like leather tearing off but on a good note it helped me forget the squigly squirmy thing going on to the inside of my left knee
The ride actually started out ok for almost a whole mile by mile one though I dropped my chain off the outside and instead of getting it back on it twisted around and then I was alone for a while but eventually I ended up catching some folks for a little while after I braked very little down the big hill out of Saint Jo(?)
It was a good turnout about 19 folks were out. Shellene and Bryan were out on their Corsa SSs and there were 15 of those upright bikes including a Carbon Fiber Tandem.
if I remember correctly overall per my garmin
131 miles
11:30 overall time
9:45 ride time
Avg HR 113
No it wasn't overcast at all especially after I took off my Carbon Spider and found it already torn
I'm pulling out of the 600k as I was feeling my knee before the second stop. Probably find some doctor to take a look to see how bad it is and then concentrate on just commuting and dropping some lbs. I mean sure the 261 that I weighed in last night and a ~50 lb rear suspended with some gear bike can FLY downhill but getting back up is something else entirely.
