Should get two rides
in today. Head out later after dealing with some calls. More biking. I’d
greased it up again because I was worried I hadn’t done a good enough job the
day before. My worst fears seemed confirmed when I felt tired just starting out
down the highway but things really eased up heading south. I then went onto 17th.
The wind was pretty tough so I got off for a bit. Another fella was biking by
and asked whether I was alright. Gotta love the people in this town. I said I
was and he continued on unabashed. Goes to show you how much more fit some
people are than I. Makes you feel humble.
Eventually I continue going. Make it
to Georgetown alright and, coincidentally, walk into
an Inspiree who happened to be out. She took my picture and I headed back. The
weather was beautiful. I thought I had it easy.
Wrong. Really, damn wrong. When I
started driving north I realized why it was so easy coming south. The wind was
blowing me the whole way. And now it was repulsing me. A seed on the breeze.
And I felt like it. It’s surprising I wasn’t blown into a ditch. And my
muscles, like an fly trying to stop its swatter. It’s surprising I didn’t end
up crawling back home. So tired and in so much pain.
No second ride today. I’m going to
sleep.
For a while.
