Day 1 is over.
57 total miles...averaged 14.7 mph. That average is a bit deceiving. In most towns you have to get off your bicycle and walk it through because of the traffic. I would say my average would have been 16-17 today if it weren't for that. No big deal though...this isn't a race.
Lots of rolling hills today. My goal was to use the flat and downhills as opportunities to recover and really attack the hills. Overall, I think it went well. Tomorrow is the 100 mile day. We plan to get out and ride early (5:30 a.m.) to avoid heat.
The weather was ideal today until about the final 4-5 miles. The temperature got to about 92 and it was getting hotter when we finished around 2:15. I'm glad we rode early.
I'll post pictures later tonight. We are off to dinner!
