Day 19: Boot Camp


Back up to the mountains of New Hampshire for some heavy duty training. Time to ride the hills every day. Today it is raining but the air is warm. I like these conditions for hill rides because if you get hot, the rain cools you off.
I have a different bike today. A steel frame Independent Fabrication. It wasn't so great. The gears are old and need to be overhauled which made for a miserable ride up the hills. I should have checked on this earlier but was in such a rush to get up here and go riding. I was able to grind through 30 miles and celebrated with a swim in the lake. It was raining after all. I was soaked so why not go swimming? It was the first time I went swimming where the rain was beating down so hard, it was making the lake water dance! It was really beautiful and very peaceful.
