It was a little hotter than I liked early in the day, so I waited to the evening. It was still warmer than my liking but had no choice. Got the bike ready and stretched out my back, turned everything on and away I went. I was going to do my semi local hill ride. I get 4 miles out and went to take a drink and realized I forgot my camelback hydration. I made a loop to go home to get it, when I stretched my back I had it sitting next to the bike and never picked it up. I knew it would not be smart doi8ng the ride without drinking as hot and humid as it was. It was a blessing in disguise as my legs were very sore so a did a different hill ride that was much better for my legs. The first 11 miles was a little tough trying to loosen up my legs. The last 19 miles was tough trying to keep up the effort with sore lower quads and the heat, humidity and wind.. I did however, was able to ride faster and stronger much to my surprise, enjoyment and adventure! Tomorrow's adventure will be a much easier ride in low zone 2 if I can keep from getting carried away. Be safe out there and enjoy your ride!
