I think it has only been about three days since I last blogged, but what a hard three days it has been! Everyday since our last rest day has had some really strong headwinds, and almost 90% of each ride has been into those winds. This new obstacle has made us work harder, but I feel like it has made me stronger than before. Unfortunately, we've had a few spills the last few days that left some riders with some tough looking scratches. Fortunately, I was not part of those incidents for once.
Today's ride of 95 miles was still tough, but offered a reward for some of us riders: several riders reached their 2000 mile landmark today! It's hard to believe we are already half way done, but everyday just gets better and better.
