Its been awhile! Enjoy!

Heat Wave

This last week has been the hottest so far this summer. It's been high 90s and low 100s all week long and I am told today will be no different if not hotter than the prior days. In an attempt to get some mileage on my bike, I've been "attempting" (key word is "attempting") to get up around 6am-7am to get 15-20 miles in before the sun rises in full effect. Today, I managed to get out at about 7:30am and ride a nice 20 mile loop around the evergreen/silvercreek area. I pushed myself to climb more hills today, just to see if my muscles gained from the AidsLifeCycle are still there. I have to say, I feel much stronger and I am climbing the hills faster and smoother than before. 

Hills are deadly, its a struggle no matter how fit and strong you are. There's always going to be steeper and higher hills/ mountains. Climbing up, your legs want to explode, your lungs want to cave in, and all you hear is your heart pounding. But in the end, the feeling at the top outweighs the struggles.
