365 Day Photo Challenge, Dehydrated, Hot Shower, Humid, Roof Top Work, Sick, Too Hot

1TH_0380

I had to work on the roof today for far too long.  At least the temps were in the mid 80’s and it was overcast for most of the day but the humidity was up and that’s what did me in.  By the time quitting time came around I was soaked to the bone.  I was a bit tired when I got in my truck to go home but the closer I got home the worse I felt.

After arriving home I took a long, hot shower and I felt a little bit better.  My wife had supper ready but I just didn’t feel hungry enough to eat.  Right now I’m sitting in my recliner and as soon as my girls get home I’m heading to bed.  Maybe I’ll feel better after a good nights sleep.

They picked the perfect name for this ride because it was truly a very hot day today.  The ride started at 7am sharp.  I arrived a little later than I had wanted too so I was toward the back of the pack when the ride started.  It didn’t take me long before I was riding with the lead riders.  Not for long though.  It was a fairly flat ride but my feet started giving me some problems because I don’t have the clets set up just right.  I will soon enough thogh.

All the ones that preregistered got a goody bag which included your bib ID plus all you see in this photo plus a tee shirt.  Not bad.

The ride started off pretty slow.  I guess 700 riders leaving out all at once can’t be too quick.  Once I made it toward the head of the pack I was able to reach speeds of around 19 and 20 mph.  It was constant peddling though.  No hills to go down only a few to go up toward the end of the ride.  The ride was rough as the roads are were in poor condition in places.  I ended up having a lose spoke just before the first rest stop.  I didn’t have my spoke wrench so I had to listen to it all the way back to the start/finish line.  I’ll fix that problem tomorrow after I get home from moving my son.
