Back on the road today – with a tailwind! It has been a while since I had a tailwind, I had almost forgotten what it was like to have one. Good thing it was there though, it was still hot and humid today, and as is often the case after a rest day it took a while for me to get back into the groove. I am not sure why that is, but it often happens. Maybe I get so used to the comfort of “civilization” that it is difficult to face up to the challenge of grinding through the heat. Anyway, after a couple of fairly sluggish hours I did start to get back into it.
