training

I went for a 35 mile training ride today. The bike was fully loaded and I had everything I intend to carry with me for the trip. I did ok, it was hilly here but nothing too crazy. I already got to see a bunch of hawks and vultures up close as well as a coyote that was napping in the sun. I know it was napping because it stretched as I passed. This whole thing will be harder than I thought but it seems doable.
