I got up early (6 a.m.) so that I could work on finishing sealing my driveway. If I was finished by 9 a.m. I would have just enough time to clean up my tools, shower and head to Louisville for the 50 mile ride. I finished just after 9 and made it with a few minutes to spare.

Very early into the ride I came to the conclusion I really did not feel like riding. My legs were so heavy and non responsive after the hilly century we rode yesterday. After a bit of a pep talk I convinced myself to keep riding but at a slow pace and to simply enjoy the route. Well that worked until I had to climb and then I was not having a lot of fun. However, after the first 25 miles or so my legs seemed to come to life and I was able to pick up the pace. This was a scenic route, low traffic and it took us through the towns of Crestwood, LaGrange, Buckner and Prospect but it was also very hilly. I think tomorrow will be an easy, slow day on my bike.
