Yes, yesterday's 100 mile ride definitely would have gone better if I'd been on rested legs. But I gladly would've dealt with the tired legs if I could have avoided the 90°F temps/80% humidity, or the desperately-in-need-of-maintenance drivetrain that was creaking/grinding like it was going to explode at any minute all the way from mile 5 to the end! (In addition to being way overdue for a new chain & cassette I'm pretty sure my bottom bracket bearings are toast. Not sure how that happened...)
But yeah, another 100 miles in the books.
Today I'll probably ride all of about 8 miles: Getting my
other bike back from the shop. And then I can bring this one in. Ugh.
