Yeah, the ice cream kept everyone happy.dats wat imma tawkin bout!
gee, no middle valley road to zellers climb?
nice job by V !!!
Even I haven't done that climb. Its double tough because Zeller's Rd. is also a tough uphill from Middle Valley road. I'll have to escort her down Zellers and Middle Valley road before suggesting we go up.

Nice cool ride. Got soaked the last 25 minutes, and was glad to have sun glasses to be able to see thru the down-pouring rain.
This S-Works grip tape works great in the rain, as I don't wear gloves on the road bike.

Day #26 - This place after work again. Hit more of the inner web of trails working on a big loop.
And just for fun, July has been my lowest hour/meage month in comparison. I logged over 2,000 miles in June and just under in May, I'm just under 8k for the year.

Day 26
Rode to the Wednesday night Pharma Flyers ride, met D and a bunch of friends, then did the 36 mile loop. Felt pretty good, got 3 PRs, and a top 10. Feeling pretty good these days. I do better with more volume.

Nice and cool, but feeling like rain. Did my 8 + miles and saw 3 deer today. They're pretty active lately.

Day 27
Plan was to ride at 3:00 for 2-3 hours but the day went sideways fast so I had to get out when I could. Banged out 2 hours now I get to work again until I do all the things I need to do. These days the chaos is higher than normal. Queue the Facts of Life theme song. Today was pretty much a 2 hour easy ride just to ride for 2 hours. For sure I'm getting tired now.

This should get as much air time as possible.

Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
Day 27 - Tough day overall. I had no time to ride over lunch and I got stuck at work late, but I still wanted to get to 900 miles on the month today, which meant I needed about 40 miles tonight. I started after 5:30. It was a good ride, but I was pretty beat the whole time. But I got to 900!

Humid today and I was running out of energy, but I made the hour + some.
Riding down the bunny trail. The bear was here yesterday for berries.

Day 28
My day was going be impossible today, so I got up and out right away so I would not have to try and figure out how to ride. I got back and sat down at 9:57 for the 10:00 call, so just made it in time. I was tired again today. I rewarded myself with cheeseburger soup, which is as absurd as it sounds.

Been almost exclusively on the road after a bunch of days only on the MTB. Just the way it goes sometimes.

Day 28: Where else? Back at Mercer. Trails are in good shape. Props to Mick and Tom Swords for clearing the way with the brush hog. Keep up the good work fellas! https://www.strava.com/activities/1105328263
Not sure why, but I was under the impression you bailed. Nice work not bailing!
