haulin' on home day 5 & 6

day 5 (yesterday, recovery)

i was still a little traumatized from the crash the day before... so i took it easy and a wise cyclist told me to do only 25-50 miles so thats exactly what i did... around 35 miles...

day 6 (gloomy lone wolf)

after a bad night of sleep due to a horrific thunderstorm the night before .. me being in a tent was not so sleep friendly
i got up tired as a bear in hibernation

i was out on the road riding alone with justin and mom stopping ahead every 2-3 miles
i got on my bike and the skies were so dark

i was feeling great averaging 18 mph the whole way
i got through 60 miles by eating , eating e gels, drinking e fuel and water, and commentating my own tour de france with team columbia domanating... pretending like i was my favorite and desire to meet BIG GEORGE HINCAPIE

when i had 14 miles to go i had to climb a wall for 10 miles and then decend 4 miles

i did 74 miles in 4 hours and it felt great!
