rhiannonstoneToday's ride (Strava, photos): south down South Platte River Trail/Mary Carter Greenway to the cute little trailside cafe at Hudson Gardens and back again, ~28.5 miles round-trip. A few more miles than last weekend, at a slightly better pace, and a lot less hating life. Partly because I learned my lesson from last weekend and I did eat a food and refill my water bottles appropriately, but also tbqh partly because it wasn't infinity degrees today. Slowly but surely working my way back up.
I still need to figure out what to do about my poor hands. I hate biking gloves so much, though. Maybe I'll just suffer a bit longer until I build up some calluses?
I really wanted to keep going the additional 10 miles from Hudson Gardens to Chatfield State Park, but I would have had to go those 10 miles there and back, and knew I didn't have that many miles in me today. Another time in the not-too-distant future.

The food and patio is soooo good after that ride. You can do it!

also, weirdly, the little place down the street from me has PAT BENATAR showing up in August. I'm feeling like it's a moral imperative that I go.

(Any interest in seeing Cvrches?)
