Paul's Bike Rides

Took my touring bike for a climb today, lightly loaded. No problems. It was an overcast day and kept getting cooler the higher I rode.

In a little more than a week I'll be heading out on a long bike tour. I've been going through checklists trying to make sure I have everything I need. Then it's just a matter of the weather. It's been cold and rainy. Hopefully it will warm up in time for me to leave.

I'm looking at a start date of June 5

Day 2 - 54 Miles

Didn't sleep very well and woke up with a headache. Actually the headache started before I went to bed. Probably dehydrated as I also got a leg cramp in the night when I got up to pee. Yesterday was the first hot day of the season.

Had a very slow morning. No rush as I decided to just head home rather than spend another night. The sun was out but filtered as I was under the tress. Still I was able to get te orange tarp dry, and the tent rainfly mostly dry. I used the towel to wipe off the last of the moisture. Didn't bother with a morning fire.
