NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR THE FLOWER CITY RIVER CHALLENGE...
14.3 Mile Ride on the Mohawk Hudson Bike Path
Wednesday, April 20, 2016

... though I suppose I should be happy I was able to ride at all, after coming down with some type of flu-like bug at the beginning of the week. I rode some hills on purpose to see how my legs would handle it, and I definitely found it tough going after 10 miles or so. Given that the riding portion of Saturday's paddle triathlon is a hilly 20 miles, plus I'd need to run 5k and paddle about 3 miles - unless I make a miraculous recovery in the next day or so, it makes sense to pass on the tri.

The trees and bushes are starting to green up, which is really nice to see - especially on a warm, sunny day like today.
