I am a little tired today. After all, I rode a bunch over the weekend. I didn't think about the day after until I jumped on the bike this morning at Union Station in Dallas. None of my joints ached, BUT my legs didn't feel as strong as they have in the past week. I had no choice to continue to ride and was surprised that I was a little short of wind as well.
This afternoon, I was concerned about ride 11+ miles from the office to Victory Station. I could tell pedaling up hill that I was not fully into it. Well that is until I got to Victory and found I had finished faster than any of the days last week. Maybe just felt tired but did not give into it. I will see what I feel like tomorrow before I make any judgements. If I do the Wednesday Night Ride, that ride and the morning after may be a good test.
The days after I ride from Brugges to Westvleteren, I should be in similar condition as I am now. I hope to spend late afternoons and early evenings sipping great beers http://sastje.webs.com/englisch.htm and riding around WWI sites in the morning and afternoons. One place that will be on my tour is Poperinge. This housed the British soldiers and acted as a supply depot, R&R site, hospital, and cemetery.
One of the places, I plan to visit and if able spend the night is the Talbot House. http://www.talbothouse.be/en/?id=Archief
Poperinge now is known for their hops. Several bike routes exist that extends from Poperinge into the hops fields. They even have a hops museum. http://www.hopmuseum.be/home.php?lang=EN&itemno=90_95_91
