ow...

my legs hurt...

my body is in a state of revolt...

did a 75 mile road and towpath ride today with joe, joe, mark, and butch... out the W&OD to leesburg, then across the to white's ferry to cross the river and back into the city on the C&O towpath... i was riding my cyclocross bike which doesn't have a computer, but with the ride down to roosevelt island to meet up with the others, and the ride home at the end, it was probably and 80+ mile day overall...

i think it might be a bit early in the year to be doing 80-mile rides, especially with a bunch of guys riding fixies... i was fine untill we hit the C&O, but about 5 miles into that my legs started screaming... i limped the rest of the way home, taking some breaks, riding mostly by myself...

still a good day overall...

Too early? No way, you socked out all those miles in miserable conditions and came through like a champ. It would only be too early if you didn't finish...

i think most (all?) of us were suffering at some point during that ride. i know i sure was. you've really improved as a cyclist though. like when you were pushing the pace on some of those road sections and climbs. blew me away.
