Bump.
So today we planned a 65-70 mile route that is very hilly. It was supposed to be cooler and less humid. It is cooler, but when we left, still humid. Within 6.5 miles DH was complaining bitterly about his legs feeling like toast (not like him at all). We were barely into Littleton, MA, so we decided to bag the ride to Hollis, NH and back through Dunstable and Groton. DH has been sick, again, mostly allergies, and unlike me, he rode to work in the 100 degree temperatures on Thursday, when he was sick (34 miles rt). I wasn't really "feeling it" today, so I was happy to abandon that plan. We ended up riding 33 miles at a slightly faster than noodle pace, stopping back in west Concord for lunch. When we came out of the restaurant, the wind had picked up and it did feel better out, but I really, really need a beautiful clear and dry New England day at this point. And, I was so hungry on the ride, I am not sure what's up. I had my normal bigger Sunday breakfast, ate 1/4 of a Lara Bar before leaving and by mile 18 had finished it. My stomach was seriously growling by the lunch stop at mile 25.5 and it was just noon.
Sooooo, for next weekend, I think the century is out. Mentally, I probably could do it, but at this point, I think I'm not into it. I will do the metric, if the weather is OK, which is now not looking that great.
Still more chances for centuries in September.
