I was feeling like all the miles are paying off. Then Sunday I was struck down by some sort of bug that caused my body to shut down 10 miles into last Sunday’s MUSEP ride. Rather than gut it out I limped home by myself. A few days of travel kept me off the bike for a few days afterward.
But tonight I got back on, and joined the Day School ride. Several of us got separated from the main group and ended up doing a few more miles (34.4) than planned. I felt like I was about 70%, and my legs kept cramping, but I managed to finish without falling apart. A small victory, but I’ll take it.
