Shame I can't go somewhere to get new parts for my body............legs felt a bit tired and weary.
That would be nice. I am feeling sore and just three days into the Battaglia in Montagna ( I love the name of that challenge, reminds me of the Thrilla in Manilla
) I think I might try two rides today instead of one longer one. I am getting my bikes dialed in, trying to get both my drop bar bikes set up as close to each other as I can for right now (for this challenge), it is working pretty well too, they are very close in seat height, reach to bars, bar width ect., now. I think I have almost as much fun tweaking them as I do riding them.
Thanks to Brian's post about his cleats I am finally going to try to get my right foot hot spot sorted too, another reason for doing some shorter rides rather than longer ones. I don't want to do too much experimenting a long way from home. I have got it almost sorted but still after about 30 miles I start feeling it on the right foot. I am hoping to do another 100k ride soon and need to get it taken care of.
I forgot about the charity group ride I was thinking about doing this past weekend until it was about an hour too late for me to get there. I am going to go ride their 100k course I think. I did have some shopping to do in a small town and it wasn't too far out of the way to check the ride out in my truck while they were riding. I was surprised how far out the long route went, but it looked like great low traffic roads to ride. I will give it a shot on my own. I am not sure I am ready for a group ride at present anyway. I am a little dangerous still. I don't think they would like me practicing how far I can climb with no hands on the handle bars during a group ride.
... I'm now a size M down from XL and still shrinking ... 
... thanks to a useless trip to LBS. Turns out the creaking noise is serious business and needs investigating
