Howdy, folks! Bill here, and I’ve just wolfed down a fish taco in the hope that it’ll give me enough energy to tackle the work ahead. But honestly, I’m still feeling a bit peckish. Now, I’m not one to let a rumbling tummy get in the way of a quick post, so here goes!
Last night, I pushed my limits with a little ride up the Blackfoot River. Now, remember, it was raining cats and dogs, but the radar promised a break. So, I bided my time and finally hit the road around 6 PM. Just as I reached Potomac, the skies decided to cut me some slack, and I got to savor a bit of dry pavement. But here’s where things get interesting.
On the way back to town, I hit a bit of a wall, and I must’ve slowed down big time because the road dried up like I’d been on an epic journey for a week. You see, taking a couple of weeks off might give you some strength, but endurance? That takes a vacation, my friends. I couldn’t even make it 2 hours before I started falling apart. Thank goodness I had some Perpetium with me to power through.
Now, let me spill the beans on a new drink I tried called CarboRocket. At first, you might think, “Never again!” But there was a game-changer yesterday. Usually, on a medium-paced endurance ride, I’d pass the convenience store in Potomac around the hour and a half mark. But last night, I rolled up 15 minutes early, and I kept on pedaling further than usual. So, I’d say this stuff really works; it’s just that my body needs a bit more fine-tuning.
And guess what? It’s Thursday Night Ride tonight! We’re meeting up at the Rattlesnake trail-head at 6 PM. This time, we’re heading up the Trail of Tears, and I couldn’t be more excited to put the road bike aside and embrace the mud. Yup, you heard me right, I’m ditching the road bike – the knobby tires are back for good, or at least I hope so.
Now, if I can just recover from last night’s adventure, I should be in tip-top shape, right? Let’s hit the trails and make some muddy memories!
