The "100" Mile ride!

Image
 I did a very long ride today. I started the day out knowing it was going to be a weird ride today. The weather was listed as rain but I could not get a good answer on how much rain they thought there could be so I prepared for the worst. I put everything into plastic ziplock bags and put on a rain jacket and my boots. The boots did not feel like the right option when I started the ride as they felt off, nothing I can really describe other than not something I am used to so just off. I wore the boots as they would not let the wind freeze my feet out. I knew that my feet were going to get soaked if it rained regardless of the footware so I figured might as well be soaked but warm and the boots were the best option for that.  Up until about mile 20 everything was fine it did not really rain much yet so I was not wet at all and I was overheating in my rain coat. After mile 20 is where things started to take a turn though. I was debating on calling off the ride and just ending it at a norm

 Staying on the Journey I have been staying on the journey and have been keeping up with my cycling every day. Each day I have ben getting 15 miles of morning riding done. It has been getting colder in the morning but this has not stopped my from riding in shorts and t-shirt. Anyway I am getting the rides in preparing for the 100 mile ride that I have been planning for a while. Each morning ride I have been mostly just riding and then finishing the ride with out thinking about taking many photos or vlogging about it. I have been in a bit of a funk with life agian and my kids got me sick the past week again so its not be the best morning rides and I have not felt well enough to really focus on these things. I have no plans to stop blogging and will continue to take photos and still hoping to get some vlogging in there but for the next week I am just going to try to feel better.  As for where this journey is heading I am getting closer to the 100 mile ride where that is kind of an end po
