Whoa!

Before joining the club, I had never ridden on a bike more than a couple miles. Not knowing what I have gotten myself into, I packed A cliff bar and joined 45 miles ride last Saturday.Long story short, I do not think I have ever been as tired as I was that day. After the ride, I could barely talk! I was very confident about my endurance as I have been through pretty tough stuff I thought. It turns out I am WEAK!To be honest, I am more worried about this journey than I am excited. When one day of 50 mile ride exhausts me this much, I cannot imagine myself doing 80+ miles everyday for three months!However, tomorrow is another day, and there is always another snack bar. I will survive this.Love, Peace and Cliff bar.
