That's it. I'm not riding cedarville again unless the temps are under 85 and the humidity is down. Why do the damn bugs thrive in this shitty weather.
I got out there at 6:30. Damn hot and humid. But that didn't bother me. I love sweating when I'm working out. As soon as I got within a mile of the lake area the deer flies started in. They were in my hair, biting through my gloves, and I dug a few from inside the jersey. And that was while I was riding. I stopped once to TRY to drink some water and they were on my like a fresh pile of horse shit. (Another reason I should buy a camelback).
That was it. I headed straight back to my truck and left. Theres nothing like parasitic bugs to keep your average speed up. I still got 10 miles in but didn't feel worked at all. I was out there Tuesday and it wasn't nearly this bad.
Made the trip to the basement when I got home to get some weight lifting in. I don't mind the butt that comes with the biking, but the biker chest SUCKS. I'll never be a half way decent biker. Everytime the upper body muscles start to shrink I panic and hit the weights.
I also finally got my MORE (local bike club) jersey in. Another dissapointment. Everyone told me they ran small so I got a 2XL. Its too small. I can get it on but it has that skin tight feel, especially around my mutant shoulders. I could probly get around the tightness but its also too short. Come on Tom, 6'-3", remember. Duh.
Oh well. Its like my wife tells me. "Its all good".
BTW, what the hell does that mean?
later

sorry about the jersey fit... this batch has run smaller than the last across the board.
It ain't your fault Joe. You just worked your butt off getting the orders togather and delivered.
I'll probly wear it anyways and everyone can just talk about me behind my back. :)
