Towards the end of this week I was feeling off, like I was getting sick. i think maybe I caught a mild cold? We rode today because of Shawn's birthday party yesterday and both mornings I didn't feel like leaving the house but ended up going anyway. I actually woke up feeling better this morning but I still tired. On the ride I was feeling low energy and made sure not to go into the red zone. I figured I'd start the ride and see how it went and I managed to survive to the end. On the way to lunch a squirrel jumped out of the bushes right in front of Sonny. He swerved to avoid it and it looked a bit sketchy but he didn't manage to take us out this time. It was a ginger squirrel too! It was cross/headwind most of today and it was a bit of a fun killer. Luckily, it wasn't a headwind for the final part of the ride after Niles Canyon.
