This was a very long, very tiring day. I did get up at 4:15 am and was on the road by 5:45 am. We had two very seriously big climbs to conquer and I did OK on the first one and about died on the second one. I just endured - with lots of stops and occasionally walking the bike.
After I finally got to the top of the second monster "hill" and came screaming down the other side, I stopped at a little restaurant for a root beer float and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (I know, it's a little funky, but that's what sounded good at the time and it did hit the spot.) To let you know how tired I was, I put my straw - still in it's wrapper - into the root beer float and didn't even realize it. Other people did however, and it was captured on camera.......
One saving grace today was a great tailwind. I don't think I would have made it if I didn't have that tailwind to help me along.
