The "100" Mile ride!
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
