A long and lovely day - started early, barely light out (we lost that hour, remember?....) and very cloudy and cool - threatening to rain. I was very, very slow to start - had nothing in my legs for the first 30+ miles. Picked up steam as the day went on. We had gentle rolling hills, lots of woodlands and smaller farms - lots and lots of corn. We had the cool and the clouds until about midday (it never did rain) and then the sun came out.
For a century ride, it sure was nice. I didn't get in until 5 pm, but I wasn't exhausted either - by jove, I think I really am getting stronger!!!!! I got in just in time for maintenance and Jim the mechanic did some fine tuning on my shifting and I should be good to go for tomorrow.
I had time to clean my bike drive chain and catch up on some journaling. It feels good to not be totally wiped out at the end of a long day.
