Got good news today, I’m getting based back in New York August 1st.
I can’t do 4 days on 2 days off. I have literally spent my whole day off running around. Tomorrow I have to go back to Charlotte.

On the bright side, our daughter is coming up for the weekend to celebrate her birthday and Father's Day, and I'm excited about that.

Kentucky was great, great weather, good fun. But I did have a strange thing happen on Sunday. 78 mile ride, approx. 10 miles in, I lost almost all power for climbing. My heart rate wouldn't come up over 100 bpm. I felt just fine, no pain, nothing to point at except I was pretty dehydrated. At around 60, 65 miles or so things returned to normal. Sunday, I was just fine.
