I am up before 5 AM , so it was easy to try and beat the humidity and heat today by walking the road for 4.7 miles. Enjoyed a breakfast of local blueberries, strawberries, granola, and whole milk yogurt.
Rode a one hour loop this afternoon with Andy Hazen, who was back home from the Tour Divide, after his hard riding race week was curtailed by a 25 MPH crash down onto a gravel road resulted in broken ribs, an elbow that required stitching, bruised hip, and damaged shoulder. He had been 6 days without a bicycle ride and was feeling the need to take a spin, so we took it easy. Once he was on the bike, he left me on the uphills, just like usual.
I plan to interview Andy about his adventure tomorrow. Anybody have questions you want asked?
What was the most surprising thing about the course?
Good question.
