| Comments: Katy RAAM ride instead of Besse's Creek. Rode with Keith, John, Tuan and Vic. Barely hung on the pacceline set by Tuan the first 10 miles, and slowly felt a little stranger as the ride went. Sprinted behind Keith and Tuan. Was much better than I was expecting, but felt REALLY sore after the ride. Warm, WINDY (20-25 mph). Last 30 dead into the headwind. |

| Comments: 12 miles out on the Western Reserve Bike Trail in Champion, OH.. felt great, beeautiful sunny 70 day, light wind. Was controlling my heart rate to 160-165, avg'd 19.8 easily... feeling REALLY good surprisingly...when... the back tire blew out. No prob, thought it was just a flat. Was thinking about riding 70-80 miles... BUT... an 1-2" tear on the sidewall of the tire (Gatorskin) was too large to boot. Walked all 12 miles back in cycling shoes. HUGE blisters on both feet... |

| Comments: Cap to Cap Ride, Richmond, VA on beautiful clear, cool (60-75) day, with building 10-15 mph wind. Started ride with Chip, then rode faster to 1st rest stop. Started slow with Chip again after the stop, but soon wound up at full speed. Chip took wrong turn (cut 8 miles off), so I headed out at full to end. Rode with 2 uprights in a paceline to end. Earned a little bent respect with these guys. Lost 0.3 mph on last 5 miles through Richmond. Good ride overall on TBone. 1600' of climbing. First hill at mile 3 really gassed me that early. |

| Comments: Relatively easy ride on Mount Vernon from Crystal City hotel room. Dead tired at start, but felt better as I rode, again VERY hot, sweated buckets. Even more people than yesterday, most are better behaved than Houston but a few were a "special" kind of stupid including over aggressive asswhole racers trying to pass me as I'm passing tourists at 23mph. |

| Comments: Tour De ChocolateTown, Hershey, PA. First time in Hershey. Was a beautiful cool (55F) morning with wind picking up (to 15-20) by late morning. Much hillier than I was expecting with 2700+ vertical according to Garmin, felt like 4000+ according to my undertrained, overloaded quads. My front d. went out, so I had to stop, get off the bike and manually shift to the granny gears on the 20+ 8-10% walls. Was a complete death march for me, have't felt this horrible in years, but also haven't riddent this little by June in years. Hoping to ride much more after my move to DC. Now have tremendous training motivation. |

| Comments: Crystal Ride at the Air Force Cycling Classic, Arlington, VA (Crystal City). Was shooting for 6-15km laps, but old, fat, bloated, and 4 days of moving furniture/boxes, could only do 5 laps. The climb to the Pentagon Memorial kicked my fat wide butt. Would have been easy otherwise. Very hot but Johnstown, PA standards. First ride as a new Crystal City, VA resident. The ride started just outside my new location and watched the pro race from my balcony. 2 crashes on the ride directly in front of me on the first 2 laps at the same spot just outside Rosslyn. The 2nd crash nearly took me down. I was very cautious after that. Kept getting blocked on the downhills by traffic. 1st 3 laps were in: 29:50, 30:05, 31:00, but 4th was 35. Then overheated and tired. Took it easy on #5 after a lengthy stop. Heard someone yell "beertuck" on last lap.. ;-) |

| Comments: Western MD Rail Trail, Hancock, MD on a beautiful, clear day. Legs were sore from start due to 5 straight days of moving heavy boxes. The move to DC almost complete, Was tired before the first pedal stroke. Warmed up after 30 mins but then died at end. Was odd, felt stronger up the small grade than going down. |

| Comments: Rode out of Sealy, TX with Keith, Vic, Tim, John and Steve. Searching a new route for Keith. I had breathing issues to start (sky high humidity). I had forgotten my helmet, cyclometer, gloves and apparently lungs. Felt better after stopping the bag rubbing on back wheel. Felt strong until last leg in. Got lost several times. |
