70 mile ride

Sunday, June 23, 2013
Wow, I did it!!!  70 Miles all over Lancaster County visiting the local Rec Centers on a 90 degree day.  I only had a few hours sleep so I was not sure I'd make it but I was determined.  I was exhausted when I got home and literally took a shower and passed out.  I did have some neck and back pain and actually the route took me right passed my house so I stopped in and did some stretching.  I also took some ibuprofen and sprayed some pain spray and that all helped. 

As soon as I got back to Hempfield Rec at 2 pm and put my bike in the van, it started raining a little.  I think that would have actually felt great while riding since it was so hot. 

I was proud of myself for finishing and I thank God for the strength he gave me to do so.  This helps give me a guide for my October ride and how I will feel.  75 miles a day for 6 days will require a lot of strength and determination!!!
