I think I was a bit ambitious to take another training ride with another level 4 terrain. I was already exhausted from yesterday's ride with no rest until after 9:30 p.m. when we got back home. My legs felt the struggle as soon as we hit Moraga Road from Orinda BART - that was mile 0.2. It's a slight grade, but my body was asking me, "Already?! Take a break, why don't you?" I charged ahead and let my mind drift and reminded myself why I was riding - for those who can't.
But thankfully, Facilitator: Mark Smith (with Co-Leaders: Dan, George, Kas, Bob, Kathryn, Hugo (Mary Beth, car sweep) scheduled a short ride option at mile 30.6, lunch stop next to Orinda BART. I took that option. I felt such a sense of relief and of course made sure folks knew I had just finished, yesterday, Mary Vencill's level 4 terrain, 63.9mi, 5,243ft elevation ride - NO, I didn't give ALL that information. I just didn't want to sound like a whimp. BUT, I certainly was Whimpy, from those who know the 1960s Popeye the Sailor Man televised cartoon. Take a look, I treated myself to this ... "I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." Yummy, yummy, yummy - at least, for me.
