91.6 mi, 1,795ft gain, 65-84F / breezy & humid
After the ride I had yesterday, I needed a chill ride today. I stayed with the group for the first 54 miles of the 92. I have no idea if being with other people wouldn’t been better or worse yesterday, but I chose large group today. We rode on more small roads today than normal. I think one of the crew who lives here might have had a play in this. If so, good job. It reminded me of the routes I would do for work. Less cars, less intersections. It rides better.
So after the 2nd SAG stop I need to spin my legs more. I headed out on my own. It felt nice to just go, it was a small road and no traffic. Then I remembered I could try the drone as the timing might work to get the group coming behind me. Well, I wasn’t fast enough or the wind was too strong.. or both. The group passed as I attempted with just no luck. So I took a few minutes to try to get a solo shot, again headwinds causing issues. But I got a tiny one.
Today’s ride had the best ending.. Rachel and her two boys met me on route to cheer me into the hotel. I’ve known Rachel since I was 4-5yrs old. It was so nice to get a chance to meet her kids and chat for a little. Tomorrow we’re going to meet for coffee, I can’t wait to catch up. One of their signs actually real “Heepwah Jodie” and it almost made me cry. Man I miss camp. IYKYK
This trip has been so cool in that way.. connecting with people who are so thoughtful to come meet me on route. Thank you guys.
Tomorrow sleep!!!
