Today’s Ride
 |
| In the beginning... |
Started out in the rain! We had our wet weather gear so really it was no big issue. Most of the route was on trails today. The New Berlin trail and the Glacial Drumlin trail.
Los Dos Centavos
Today was a tough day for riding becuase it was raining. So, I started the day by singing (in my head) rain, rain go freaking away! and do not come until we are done with the ride! But, for some reason this did not work (?)! Well to be honest it was hard becuase ( I know the rhyme really works!) this year I did not train properly and in the first day I can already feel it!
Nevertheless, Nolan and I are having a great time together and using (rationalization) the excuse that we are burning so many calories that we had a large pizza for lunch!
