well vacation is just about over. as is typical, i didnt do nearly anything i had planned on doing. but i did do the one more important thing, and that was training. lots of it.
21 hours on my bike. actually almost 27 if you include last sunday. today i could definately feel it. about 60miles into a 90mile ride, i was hurting...and hurting bad.

this week i spent alot of time out in the seacoast. i used my parents house as a launching pad & headed out to exeter, hampton, portsmouth, durham, newmarket, lee, and several other towns. its some of the best riding around... and for the most part, long rides go by much quicker and easier when there are great views of the ocean.


earlier in the week, i was out riding with my mom & she showed me were i grew up...well, for the first couple years anyways... cute little house in newmarket.




just heading into portmouth




ok... im gonna go lay down & watch some TV. i am totally zonked right now!!



oh yeah... here is a picture from my ride on thursday.. it was cold, windy, and kinda rainy... the beach looked alot different:
