THE EGRETS ARE BACK
14.4 Mile Ride on the Mohawk Hudson Bike Path
Thursday, July 31, 2014

... and someone filled my legs with bloody concrete. Really, after almost no riding for a week, you'd think they'd be raring to go. Instead, it was a struggle to go as far as I did. Ugh.

Lots of chipmunks along the path, and tons of birds. Saw over half a dozen herons in the river, and three egrets... a sure sign that summer is moving along rapidly. Sigh.

Hopefully the riding I have planned for tomorrow and Saturday will go better than today's did. I'm not exactly filled with confidence for the 75 miler in a little over 2 weeks and the century ride in early September (a little over 5 weeks!)
