But I got a solid 8 hours of sleep last night and was feeling great this morning. My guess is that today's ride was my fasted metric ever. However, my speedometer died so I will never know.

I think I am ready for my four day event. I am going to try riding some, but not a lot tomorrow. And yes, the week before I will slow down.

My camera took terrible blurry pictures, I think water got into the lens yesterday. I have a new cell phone and have to figure out how to download the pictures. Hope I got a few that were OK.
