UPHILL AND UPWIND. I started thinking that I had this biking thing under control. I could just sail along with minimal effort and cover great distances fast. However today brought me back to reality. There is a big difference between riding level with the wind at your back and riding uphill with a strong wind blowing right at you.
I rode about 25 miles today to get to Kirtland Ohio but it was harder than the 50 miles yesterday. Kirtland is in the hills around Lake Erie and the route to get there is all uphill.
I stayed at a motel to get ready for Church tomorrow.

- On July 3rd or 4th, 2009 I will start an adventure that I have been looking forward to for a long time: Take three months off work and conduct a self supporting bicycle ride from Washington DC to Salt Lake City Utah and then visit family for a month. We will have to see how it turns out.
I'm glad you stayed at a motel. You'd think after all the biking you're doing, a night on a bed would be so welcome.
