For the first time my legs were feeling strong, thinking I'm finally getting my riding legs. Hit the first climb at about 20 miles. At around 25/28 miles I started another long climb with a fabulous down hill making it worth while. Not much to stop and see so I made pretty good time getting to South Range. There is a steep curvy downhill with a lot of traffic entering Houghton, I actually rode my brakes for most of it. Crossed the lift bridge into Hancock and zig zagged to the Ramada Inn, 63.11 miles.
Today I spent wandering around Houghton, lunch at 5th and Elm coffee cafe - walnut veggie burger and dinner at the Library bar and grill - 3 cheese pasta.
Had a beer at the lounge in the Ramada with a couple women from the group.
Hitting the sheets early in hopes of a good nights sleep, I hear we'll be climbing hills again tomorrow!
Loving the trip, excited to start riding again. My butt was happy to have a day off.
Allergies are a bit wonky and I've learned that Bert's beeswax provides no protection from wind and sun. Bought new products with spf 23, my lips will be happy!
