Today was an easy spin of 40km+ after the challenge of the Nordet on Friday, 137km to St Donat with about 1400M of climbing. Saved my legs by spinning in lower chain ring in front gear.
Wild life count on Nordet, 5 wild turkeys, 3 different spots. Seemed pretty disinterested in me - which is great. One white tail deer who must have been surprised to see me coming up the hill, a big snort (not heard that from a deer before and about 4 bounds before she was back in forest.
Think I am over 500km to date, so if all goes well, no injuries/ crashes - i could hit 700+ by end of next week
Pretty sure my Mom would think I am crazy...it would be even crazier, is that a word? - to give every kid a chance to live crazy like I have had the opportunity to do.
Smile, breath, find the good...
