Notes

Accomplished my month-long of making it to the "Bridge," that's actually what it's called. Longest ride ever and felt pretty good the whole time even with moderate wind. Right calf has had this cramping sensation before but was worse today. I think it has more to do with my right ankle's movement (which seems different than my left) that with my crippled right foot.

About 2 hours in I let my mind wander and hit a golf ball-sized rock. Unfortunately that sent me riding into the shoulder, which right there was rocks and downhill. So breaking didn't work and didn't unclip fast enough and ended up heels over head. Pretty casual and slow fall altogether and nothing more than a few scraps I think.

So that took away from my elated biking self-esteem after putting on a pullover jacket whilst riding.

And here's the "really?" moment, despite starting the ride before 2:30, I still finished after the sunset - damn daylight savings
