100 Miles, 90 Against Wind
We’re in La Grange!
The ride ended up great, after lunch I tore it up on the third quarter, but really struggled the next 15 miles.
My bike says I averaged 15mph and it took 6.5 hours.
I didn’t mention this, but we faced 10-15 mph winds nearly the entire time. This was nothing new for me, but it really wore on us as the day went on.
I did a lot of riding with Eric G, and then Platt and Dylan. Good times, we did a lot of drafting off each other.
Time for a beer and the best night of sleep under a tent ever! I feel like jello.
See you in Austin!

Son, when I was your age I used to walk that far to school every day in the snow and all uphill pulling the dog sled.
