a really tough bama day

today triumphs the worst day catagory... i'm super pooped today

it was my turn to be sweep today with nichole and i was excited but not so ready for the 77 miles

the day started with a nice donation magic from wallyworld (walmart) score!!

then at mile 30 while climbing a hill nichole's derailer went haywire and flipped into her spoke (travis's expression was priceless when he saw nichole's bike...it was a sight to see... in a twisted mess)

so i ended up sweeping alone for about 9 miles (this includes the 1.6 mile climb... should i have opted for a van ride to lunch??)

after getting lunch kim was nice enough to be a honorary sweeper with me

high:
~finishing today's ride in one piece
~the sweet descents but one was especially scary....a u-turn switchback... no thanks; hit a max of 40 mph...sweet

low:
~crying multiple times today (didn't think i would do it so soon in the trip- no worries no one saw...i got the shades on)

~dogs....they are too curious...cyclist riding at 15 mph are not that interesting to chase (i'm warning all those crazy barking dogs out there - i will scream, kick, and squirt you!!! don't chase me please....

butt and muscles you have 10 hours to heal... wish me luck
