Today I traveled through the most beautiful countryside. No really! Wonderful farms and rolling hills that seemed endless. Since I was trying to dodge many of the larger cities, this was partly out of necessity.
Several people were helpful along the way and that contributed to a good ride. It got very hot in the afternoon and I arrived late in the day, so I was trashed! The delay was not the distance traveled (70 miles), but a slow pace of 13.1 over the rather steep inclines. By the end of the day these climbs hurt.
I would sound like Lee if I didn't give at least one negative. The hassle of the day was a thousand turns. I had to stop and change from sunglasses to my Rx glasses, mop my brow with my bandanna, get out my BlackBerry, get to the map ap, find my location, check the road signs, and then reverse the process. I spent a lot of time standing or sitting beside the road. No way SOPG was going to work today.
This is the optimistic cyclist signing off for another day.
