Ride 7 - Brrrr, It's Cold Outside

Ok, where did the wind come from. Today's ride felt like I a wall was pushing against me the whole way. To make matters that much more it was cold and got colder (it seemed) as I rode. My legs were just dead to boot... what to do?

It is days like this where I draw strength to turn the pedals from my honorees. Some have passed away and some are still with us. I ride for them and I know that no matter how lousy the weather might be or I might feel it doesn't compare to what they face and faced. I am making a difference. For me it is good to get back to that basic level from time to time to remember what it is really all about.

The ride ended up being exactly what I wanted from a mileage and challenge perspective. Again, I have my honorees to thank for the 30 cold, windy, but completed miles. Maybe this is a bit weird, but I hope tomorrow's ride is a bit more of the same. I think it can only help to keep me on track knowing that even when it isn't much fun it is still doable. I am lucky to still have the ability to ride.
