Decided to ramp up myself and do 40 miles instead of my usual 20. Started to feel the burn about 35 miles in, not too bad!

50 yesterday and 30 today...was a good weekend. Alot hotter and more humid today though.

Got in another 20.5 miles today. Legs didn't feel too bad after Saturdays 55 miler. Air quality absolutely sucked today though. Guess there's something to those air alerts after all.

You are not mistaken...it is Memorial Day Weekend. Bless all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

I'm traveling Sat/Sun to Houston, so I decided to do a morning ride, which I rarely do during the week. 23 miles, fast paced, lots of sweat, even at 8:30 in the morning. Commute traffic wasn't as bad as I thought it might be and I might need to do this again in the near future. I'm planning a longer ride on Monday after I put the flag out.

I made it out Monday morning after hanging the flag. A nice out-and-back ride to a small town south of me called Buda (Byoo-duh). Typical summer weather pattern with a strong north wind around 15 - 20 mph, hot and humid. I drank 4 24-oz bottles, two with Nuun and it still wasn't enough over this almost 3 hour ride. I got home okay but had to keep drinking water until I felt hydrated again.

It was a hot weekend - into the 90s every day and we broke a couple weather records for Chicagoland. I'm beat. Passed on the morning club ride today to try to recover a bit but am thinking of catching the evening 30. Weather tomorrow will only be mid 60s (yeah baby!) so would like to do something longer (50-60+?) tomorrow.
