Apparently most people were hammered from yesterday’s Death ride since less than 20 showed up for the A ride. Today’s ride was a typical hill country ride with a bunch of rollers. It was warmer today than the last couple days and it was humid. We had seen the first part of the ride when we drove to Bandera. I got in a nice group that included Annie. I stumbled on to her blog a couple months ago and a few days ago she left a comment saying she was here at Hell Week. We stopped a while in Medina for lunch and I had a big burger since all I could think about today was food. The way back was on nice quiet roads through pretty country side. Just for fun there was a 22% hill thrown in.
I tried not taking too many pulls so I could recover from yesterday since I’m doing a 300k tomorrow. I felt like I rode pretty easy and my heart rate average was only 130 but I still averaged 18.2 mph on the bike. I got in 100.6 miles and 3835 feet of climbing.
Update: Texas Hell Week photos and posts for each day.

wow 130 bpm for 18 mph. That’s pretty darn good.
