We are in Poughkeepsie New York right now staying in a boarding house with real beds (yes, this is a big deal) After a few more days of biking across rolling hills and steep inclines we had another build day. While its not really a rest day, it allows our legs to have a rest while we help out Habitat for Humanity.
Yesterday's ride was epic. It was nice riding, not too hilly, but it was very long. 81 miles takes a long time when you're just starting out biking. A bunch of us wound up getting lost at the end when it started raining and we got into our host site 2 hours later than the 4:00 limit.
We were very cranky and needed a cookie, but settled for a hot shower.
All in all things are going really well. I had been having problems with my knee because of a tight IT band that rubs on my knee. Good news: I messed with my bike fit and it didnt hurt after 86 miles in one day!! Hopefully this keeps up.
