Sweet! The bread and the wine, I hope.

Today I started out w/every good intention to complete a 105 mi fg ride. Although it was all within 20 miles of my house and I'd ridden most of the roads before though never on fg and certainly not @ 85 GI. Had to do switchbacks on some climbs. No shame there, but one hill surprised me w/a false crest and stopped me dead. Had to do the hike of shame back down, get a better run at it and made it up the 2nd time. Got to the 59 mi point and went another 1.5 miles and turned around for a metric century. Bummed. Just didn't have it today.

But, a hot shower and 2 cold brown ales helped the bruised ego.
