Day 2

Today was quite challenging for the riders! Day 2 is always tough. Some of the excitement from beginning this year’s challenge has worn off…and the reality of the task ahead has set in. Muscles are sore, backsides are even more sore, and regrets of not training harder are eating away at the riders. The thought that keeps them pedaling mile after mile is – our Veterans sacrifice immensely more and face much steeper challenges, we can keep going. Today was a mind over matter kind of day. The riders were relieved to reach the next town, and to have Day 2 under their belt. This ride was a little riskier due to an increase in traffic. Vehicles did not slow down often, we were grateful for a good shoulder to ride on.

Challenging Day 2 – taking a moment to push through the mindset.
