I felt... Hungover! I was giddy from endorphins and stiff as a board, and at dinner I got half a glass of wine and didn't realize 'till later that my dad lept pouring and pouring and I was just drunk! I never drink, so it was kind of fun. I still took a really nice recovery ride, spun along the River Road and visited some places. I have these mixed use tires, wide and knobby on the sides with a slick web down the center to roll on when you ride pavement. Very handy for tooling about the countryside. I was so saddle sore, but it blew over quick. I don't understand, I've been trying to ride and it just wouldn't work; Suddenly it came together.
One problem I've had is a lot of hand pain and numbness and I had hoop de do gel gloves specially designed for that, which didn't work. I went to almost totally unpadded gloves with sticky bumps on them for traction for this trip- no hand trouble! Too weird. Like caffeine is bad for you, unless it isn't.
World's a mysterious place.
