For the Lake Champlain crew...
The morning was beautiful. I rode along the lake at 5 am, too early for the sun to rise, but you could see the waves on the lake, feel the breeze (head wind.) But I tell you it was a wonderful way to start the day. Overall 15 miles each way.
In contrast I almost freaking died on the way home. It was soooooo hot... And a strong head wind. Why does it change directions like that? I was so happy at work. By mile 7 I was wiped. I think it was in the 90's..
Anyway, nothing that a cold beer and a good nites sleep can't fix... i'm hoping.
