We did a mere 12 mile ride today....but it was HOT and humid and a lot of long uphills involved to go to a friend's house for brunch. Grinding up the hills slowly in the blasting sun. My whitish sunblock dripping off my skin with the sweat. I felt like the cake in that song MacArthur's Park.... =8-O
But the good thing was when we got there they had a marvelous brunch prepared and we got to float around their gorgeous pool like the rich folk do...stone waterfalls and all....
The ride back home was not as arduous as we were all cooled off from the pool.
Got home, nice showers, then a big salad for dinner. A great Sunday.
My leg muscles were burning (in a good way) too.
