Essex and Back....75 miles in 5:45...OUCH!

75 miles to essex and back. Spent 5:45 in the saddle, and my ass hurts. Now I know why you need butt cream! My legs are like butter right now. Stopped at Clark Cycle in Essex, and then at a gas station in Middlefield and finally at CC to talk to Dave, that's it.  This is a new mile stone since re-emerging last summer as a cyclist. 


On the way down I went Old Route 9 or Saybrook Rd I think they call it. Wind behind me and it was fast, faster than I wanted to go, was trying conserve energy and keep the HR down, but too much fun. Came back through the hills of Chester to Higganum on the backroads. There were a few steep climbs on the way back with a head wind, it hurt, but was fun becauseI stayed within myself.

Going to eat a Whole Rot. Chicken with Potato tonight....I'm starving!
