I keep thinking that Eric! I keep thinking things will get better tomorrow and then tomorrow comes and it sucks just as much as yesterday did... This is the longest stretch of YUCK that we've dealth with - it's just a non-stop, unrelenting battery of crap.
that being said, I am bracing myself for more of the same until we head up into the mountains. It'll be around 3 week of riding (but I'll fly to the USA in the middle of it so it will be another 4 or 5 weeks total) but we'll just keep those feet going around in circles and will get there. Slowly, but surely.
