20 July 2010 – Each day I try to do 20 miles starting between 5 and 5:30 AM. It’s cooler, there is less wind, and the sun has not reached its full desert power. This morning I overslept, struggled with inertia, and so completed a bunch of chores to distract myself from that struggle. At 3:00 PM I finally got on my bike to do a ten mile loop – it was 109 degrees, pretty humid for the desert, and windy. At nine miles I was exhausted. From now until I leave for the Tour starting point, I will either get up and do the 20 or forget it.
Now it’s time for my hand-rolled Honduran cigar.
Thought for the day: Hydration is good, a little sugar does wonders, and a good cigar can’t be beat.
