Youngstown
Previous Day - - Back to Daily Log - - Next Day
Harder day than expected. I just ended up really tired after today's ride but the ride itself was not too bad. A milkshake stop in Hanna really gave me a boost of energy but I think the headwinds earlier in the day just did me in. Travelling through a lot of the same country side, which I am enjoying, but will not post all the similar pictures I am taking compared to yesterday. We are camped higher than last night, the first 50kms saw us go up a total of 240ms in elevation and then a general shallow slope downhill in varying cross winds that were rarely from the rear quarter. I did turn over 5000kms on the odometer on my bike today which included just about all the training I did this year plus the ride to date.
