After a decent breakfast and a few games of trivia and some food it's off for another ride. I adjusted my seat a little higher because I read that your stroke should extend your legs almost fully - just a slight bend to the knees - this was much better.
The game plan was the same as yesterday - out of Century Meadows, down Arndt to Schultz and then to Fargo - WOW I made it and it felt good so I decided to go further. I took Fargo to Butteville Road and made a right onto Butteville - past the hops snaking their way up the ropes, past the farms, past the guy flying his RC plane, say hi to kitty crossing the road and then ..............
DAMN ! I forgot that killer hill down into Butteville at a gazillion miles per hour - holy crap I'm gonna die or go flying off my bike - this is not good. I decided to just ride it out and I made it around the corner in one piece - someone must have been watching because no cars came around at that time. I got off as soon as I could, took a deep swig of water and let myself calm down and then walked the bike up the hill. What goes down must come back up again and there was no way I was going to peddle up that hill - not ready for that yet.
I stopped to talk to the horses and goats for a few and then peddled my way back home.
Total ride - 5.38 miles - hmmm - a little further - there's always tomorrow.
