Miserable, Miserable, Miserable Day!

After yesterday’s challenging ride, we were looking forward to a lot of down hills on the ride today. However, Mother Nature had a different agenda for us today. We awoke to dark clouds above, but given that there can be a variety of weather conditions on the island, we were still hopeful it would be sunny were we were heading. Well no such luck! We were driven to the highest peak on the island for the start of our ride. As we drove up, it got colder, windier and foggier. We wound up having to drive back down until we had safer riding conditions. About 10 minutes into our ride, the winder started, the rain came down and it didn’t really stop for most of the day. There were times were the Traveling Hillbilly actually had to pedal going downhill because the winds were so strong. There were times, were the Traveling Hillbilly was pedaling, pedaling, pedaling and getting nowhere! It was truly a miserable day. But we persevered and made it through. It was a long and tough day. It was supposed to be easier than yesterday, but given the weather conditions I think today was tougher! The Traveling Hillbilly has to admit though, the scenery was still magnificent.
