Saturday July 19 Rides

I did a 5.5 mile hike with Denise G. It would have been OK to ride at 6 AM, but it is brutal out there today and neither of us wanted to get up that early. We decided a hike in the shady woods would be better. Plus, we have not seen each other since November, so hiking gave us more opportunity to chat. I was soaked with sweat from hiking.
Whenever it's extremely hot and humid, I get headaches, which makes me feel like cr@p. My ride yesterday was pathetic, dead legs. I'm finally starting to feel a bit better, and hoping to get out early tomorrow, before the T storms take over.

I joined the club this morning for a lovely 47 mile ride from Louisville to Simpsonville. We traveled some beautiful, scenic roads but boy did we see a lot of hills on our journey today. I pushed myself today (as much as my tired legs would allow me to) and felt I had a decent ride (15.9 mph avg speed). Our typically summer weather pattern has set in so when we started at 8:30 it was already in the mid-70's and climbing fast! I love this weather! It was a good day on the bike.
