I had every intention of going out and riding 75 hilly miles today. Unfortunately the 93+ F weather thwarted my plans. It was 85 by 10 am and 90 by noon, so I only ended up riding 55. The heat really did me in today. I started to get the chills by mile 40, so I knew 75 miles was out of the question. The rest of my group ended up riding 70 miles, but I listened to my body and am thankful that I did. A few of the other people told me that I made the right decision and they wished they had stopped when I did.

The awesome part is that I conquered 2 hills this ride that I walked last weekend! Yeah!
