STAGE 8.5

Although I wanted to sleep in and rest, I just couldn't do it.

I awoke at 5:00am and by 7:00am I was real restless so I went for a bike ride. I rode to Cedar Park, TX, which is 38 miles through the hill country toward Austin at an average speed of 25 mph. Like I stated ionone of the earlier stages, the longer the ride went on, the stronger and faster I got. This was Theresa's first day of SAGing with Emily and she was very impressed and speechless (I finally did - write this on your calender - Theresa Buck speechless). Now a SAG is responsible for supporting the rider during a ride, however, with both SAG's in the same vehicle and myself on a bike, guess who had to help who with a flat. Yep, the SAG's went down (like a sack of potatoes) with a flat and I had to wait on them. I would have completed the ride today but I have family and friends that will be on the Capital of Texas steps at 10:00am on Sunday. Tonight is the concert so we plan on having a good time and enjoying the atmosphere.
One observation that I found out to be very interesting was that I did not have to deal with one single dog the whole route.
Live Strong and Ride ON.
