Day 2: I am not the weakest link!

  • Distance: 95 km; 59 miles
  • Ass tenderness: high
  • I had one goal on this trip, and that was NOT to be the weakest link. Weakest link = the worst bicycle rider in our tour group of 17 people. Good news: mission accomplished! I am the SECOND weakest link. Does it matter that the weakest link is an old lady who got into a serious bike accident on the first day?! NO! Does it matter that I was lapped by men and women 2x my age?! NO!! Is my ego or pride hurt?! NO!!
  • The only unfortunate aspect of all this: it's only the SECOND day. Is it possible for me not to be the weakest link for the whole trip? Highly doubtful especially since we're doing rolling hills tomorrow. I see an air-conditioned van in my future...
