maine cobbles, week in review, dst

first off week in review - 203 miles in 12.5 hours. 3 days in the gym (end of week 4 start of week 5). Legs are tired right now, but things are going well. Should have been more as I wimped out an hour early today, but the legs were just cooked. It's weird how yesterday I was phyiscally tired but mentally tough, today less phyiscally tired but mentally weak.

dst - awesome, it was light at like 7pm. 3 extra weeks of riding straight to dinner and eatin in the bike clothes. As I always say, flaunt it if you have it. Plus its way easier to ride outside.

maine cobbles - not cobbles per se, but sections of pavement so broken, so potholed, so covered in sand/road grime/filth that you may as well be on cobbles, because your arms bounce around just like the pro's do in your fav. northern classics video. I had a great ride on some saturday in the semi-warmth (at least its not single digit highs anymore) but those + 2.5mile climb (my favorite love-hate hill, bigalow) + 20mph headwind.....maybe i'll toughen up at some point?
