Early Morning Ride

I (Paul) hit the road early this morning to ride with Arvid for a little while. I haven't done much biking this year, so it was a bit of a testing of the legs. At 7:45 I joined him heading South for a few kms, then pulled him for a there-and-back to Lockport. He was in good spirits, having a much better day than yesterday. I asked him if he could see the end, and he said that it came and went in spurts. While for us watching, it seems like it's 'easy' to finish the last 10%, when 10% is 2 days of biking it's hardly easy. I pulled him at 32km/h for an hour, and helped bring his average up by a bit. Hopefully it can make a difference in the amount of rest time he'll get tonight. As we biked I updated him on the Tour de France, and we discussed the final day challenge. For more information, stay tuned to the website (details to come). After an hour of biking, I had to call it quits. My legs were hurting much more than his were. I snapped two pictures - one of him and one of both of us. I apologize for the overly cheesy smile, but I was taking the picture with my right hand across my body, trying to get both of us in the shot.

Keep your eye on the website, as Sunday should be intriguing and exciting!
