I do believe that the last Tour de Whatcom I did was preceded by a vacation that included no biking whatsoever, lots of eating, and several beers per day. Looks like 2018 will follow suit as today’s ride was the first in about a week due to a fun little vacation time. Again, no biking, lots of eating, and quite a few beers. However this little 2018 vacation did include more physical activity in the way of zip lines, aerial park, cave hiking and stand up paddle boarding so I am hoping that the 2018 TDW will go well in spite of the biking down time.
I did take some time today to get a ride in. I did a nice loop that included lots of wild flowers along the road that matched colors with my bike. I got a long look at the flowers while I was slowly riding the 25 miles because it seemed that no matter which direction I was heading, I was heading into the wind. Nice workout though.
