Things I learned on my 48 mile bike ride along the
Cape Cod Rail Trail today.
- Sunscreen needs to be reapplied after swimming at mile 24.
- Swimming at mile 24 is awesome, even if you are swimming in your biking clothes.
- There are maybe 4 enjoyable miles during a 48 mile bike ride.
- The best parts of a ride like this are planning it and being done with it.
- Padded biking gloves make all the difference in the world.
- Yoga helps make your wrists stronger.
- Yoga helps make your quads stronger.
- Bringing clean dry clothes for the ride home are the key to a good post-ride experience.
- Changing into your post-ride clothes in a parking lot is easier if you have a dress.
- Swearing and cursing and calling on Jesus helps get you through some tough miles.
- If I ever think I want to do this again, please flatten my tires and take away my shoes.
