Momentum or die trying

First I feel I should make some comments about yesterday since I was so damn tired when it came time to blog that I just passed out. I knew we were in for a long day when I started to get to the point where I was stopping half way up some of the bigger hills and walking my bike. For those of you who know me well enough to know the little baby tomato story you may skip a few sentences. For everyone else prepare to be regaled by on of my bad jokes. There a mommy tomato, a daddy tomato and a little baby tomato walking down the street. The baby tomato is laggin behind and laggin behind so finally the daddy tomato goes back and beats the baby tomato to a pulp and says, "hey catch up". Yesterday I felt like the baby tomato only without the beating part and the daddy tomato getting pissed off. We finally got to the house and the hurting stopped for now.
So enter this morning. Most people would think that the thing that would hurt the most after nearly fifty mile in one day would be the legs and at least in my case those people would be wrong. Surprisingly my shoulders were one of the worst parts. We got prepped and we were on our way. I did have the opportunity today to take Katrina's advice and put ice in my water. It didn't last all that long but it was good while it lasted. Yesterday I told John that my favorite road so far was rt 100 in New York because it had been pretty good as far as hills were concerned. It proceeded to throw up hills with a vengeance. Then today we were on rt 301 which had some amazing views of some reservoirs and some was pretty good for hills. I then made the mistake of telling John that my new favorite was 301. Yeah it happened again. I have now sworn off of saying that I like roads till we are off them never to go back. After that we hit the rt 9 bike trail which was pretty good and we got panera for lunch. Due to circumstances it makes the top 10 best meals. Now we are blogging four at a time in the Donnelly hall computer lab and will be leaving shortly to head to our destination for the night in Hyde Park. So remember keep it classy San Diego. P.S. Thank you very much to the Leighton's for their amazing hospitality.
