6 months agoBe smart in that heat! I’m starting to worry about you two.
6 months agoIt must have been really terrible if he had to stop every half mile! How awful! Great Britain has some very steep climbs but we’ve tried to avoid the places that are the worst. We also get off and walk when they are too steep.

6 months agoI wondered if they offered a late breakfast to encourage people to take the sack breakfast. There was a tandem parked in the garage that I never saw the owners. I suspect they went for the to go version. I did much better today, leaving early. Ironic that early is now 7 AM, when previously 7 would be normal time and daylight would be early. I plan to be out earlier on our big climbing days.
6 months agoI sometimes skip the hotel breakfast even when they serve at 6:30, cause I'm usually on the road much earlier. So I always have instant oatmeal packets with me to give me something to power me down the road to "second breakfast." A 9:00 am breakfast time is just plain silly, I suspect a lot of folks leave before breakfast.
