Today, my leg were tortured.. I did a 40 miler, with some training buddies.. Sucks because it started with a blowout at mile 3.. So my buddies with, brought a new wheel to me.. Sweet, back riding.. Different cog, than i was use to.. I typically ride an 11-23, switched to 12-25.. I struggled to find my comfy gear.. None the less, i got it done. The idea was to keep pace around 21+.. My legs were cooking. Legs spinning faster that normal.. This cog came in handy with climbs that came later in ride.. I got my ass handed to me.. At one point, my legs were so tired, i couldnt get over 19mph.. Starting taking down the added nutrition, and popped a stringer. Started feeling better.. Got back on the prowl.. Speed was over 21+ .. Feeling great only to have my bubble burst.. At mile 36. This mammouth of a bridge.. So i get psyched to climb this beast.. I shift to a higher gear.. Then im dance on the pedals.. Thinking i got this and i was moving at a decent pace.. I looked down.. I was only going 12.9mph.. What a deflating moment.. But i kept hammering.. Finally the apex.. All down hill.. 30+ on downhill.. Felt great..
I have been on my bike alot this month so far.. 135miles so far. Rides are getting longer.. I can see being at 1000 miles by august, if not before....
