Today I had big aspirations about getting a good start and really getting going. Turns out my body just wanted to sleep and it won out. I got up early for breakfast and was thinking about an 8:30-9:00am start. I eat my big breakfast and am all ready to go, ahead of schedule even.... So ahead of schedule that I decided I had time to get back in bed and feel comfy again. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep and it was eleven in the morning. Do I have regrets? Not really, it was a great nap.
Still got some decent miles in though I had to go around a big military base which was annoying. Come on military, why you gotta add miles to my journey?
Nothing spectacular happened though, just some nice scenery and very pleasant riding. Cars keep honking at me and I think it is to warn me of their presence (or maybe for support?), but I hate it. I get the good intentions but please just moved to the side. Not running me over is all the thanks I need.

I'm hoping that the first hundred miles are the hardest.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a standard start time for bike trip. Consider 7am... say 8am, wake up thinking "well 9am isn't too bad", and celebrate the 10am departure when the day before was 11am.
ReplyDeleteGreat start best of luck with your trip.
