I fought the sun, and the sun won! First road ride "ever" with my niece Sara and her partner "move out of my way I'm coming through" William. They made a huge effort on their trip here to rent bikes so we could all ride together. So happy to be able to do so :) I actually managed my earliest start in a few years. I'm not gonna lie…that was the toughest part of the day. Fun to ride with both of them. Solid effort today. Good route with no issues…then the sun caught up to us. The last sixish miles zapped me. I'm pretty sure my soul melted first. Oh, after not pointing out the dead bird in the road which Sara and I ran over, I think Will is going to need to work a bit on his group riding etiquette but that's something he and Sara can work out in counseling. Ride on!
