Day 4.0

Today's ride was great, despite the crazy heat. It was still around 88 when I headed out this evening, but it wasn't to humid so it was manageable. Once again another sunny dusk here, I haven't seen Clevelandesq cloud cover since....I was in Cleveland. The first stretch of the ride was really quick. I pushed pretty hard to get out to the trail head and made it way faster than I previously have. The first hour of the ride I made it a little more than 16 miles, which beats my previous personal record at a little under 15. Today was the first day I had any real pain on a ride due to a cramp I had after me and a few other gentleman took turns drafting/leading, which is more common an occurrence than I even would have thought. Without even speaking or knowing one another we create these line's and take turns facing the wind. It's a pretty cool thing to be able to do that with strangers. I finished up with laps once again today. Unfortunately the bike path is closed heading south when it gets to Campus, they are doing a lot with the roads by the medical center so I guess they decided to do the bike path with it! I'm sure it will be nice once it's finished, but for now it means more laps are in my future. I really hope to get a pair of bike shorts in the near future, I feel my comfort level will drastically increase with them. Still in the process of getting a new bike, hopefully there will be some good deals at the bike swap at the Crew stadium in a couple weekends!
