Neither one...11/21/2010 training ride was just 48 miles, but let me tell you...it was a killer ride! The day started off beautiful. I could not have asked for a better fall morning...that is, until the last 15 miles or so...the winds were out of the south and reported to be 30-42 miles per hour at times...and they were IN MY FACE!!
I was exhausted, I wanted to quit, I wanted a beer like nobody's business. But, I persevered and finished, feeling like I had rode 150 miles up hill! My quads were blown, I could barely walk, my back is aching, but you know what, I will have so few beautiful days in the coming weeks, that I will take the beating and gladly ask for another to have the sunshine for a few more rides before winter settles in for the next few months. Besides, how many 40 year old men do you know who are accomplishing what I am these days? Ok...I know A LOT, but we are all ride together, so they don't count!
Well, just 195 days until AIDS/LifeCycle 10 rides out of San Francisco! I better get on the fundraising! My goal, $5,000.00 this year! Find out how you can support me at www.tofighthiv.org/goto/Rider_5628
