Today…was hard. TransAm hard. Rolling hills hard. 95 miles hard. By the end of the day my rear tire was shot, my Garmin was dead, my backup battery was dead, my phone was dying, my butt hurt, my legs were exhausted. We rode rolling hills in the country for the first 50 miles then I got a flat, and after that was suburban Virginia with a lot of traffic and stop lights. After that was the Mount Vernon trail which was theoretically nice but very choppy and busy. The Potomac was very high and flooded out parts of the bike trail. By the time we got to the church we were all done for, but we quickly rallied for some alumni bbq dinner and then drinks at a brewery of course. It ended up being a good and memorable day even though I didn’t take many photos,
