Quite a different experience than the exhausting (but MUCH easier) city ride I did on Monday. Far more hills and far too much sand. Sand is probably the most miserable of experiences on a bike. There were multiple instances where I thought I was going to throw up from exhaustion. So sad. So very sad.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG-20140417-WA0001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3775\" alt=\"IMG-20140417-WA0001\" src=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG-20140417-WA0001.jpg\" width=\"392\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG-20140417-WA0001.jpg 816w, http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG-20140417-WA0001-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bikes-april-2014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3776\" alt=\"bikes april 2014\" src=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bikes-april-2014.jpg\" width=\"392\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bikes-april-2014.jpg 1085w, http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bikes-april-2014-300x223.jpg 300w, http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bikes-april-2014-1024x763.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/billy-y-carlos-april-2014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3777\" alt=\"billy y carlos april 2014\" src=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/billy-y-carlos-april-2014.jpg\" width=\"391\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/billy-y-carlos-april-2014.jpg 1085w, http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/billy-y-carlos-april-2014-300x223.jpg 300w, http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/billy-y-carlos-april-2014-1024x764.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was asked if I wanted to return for a ride tonight at 5pm. Even if I didn&#8217;t have other plans, there&#8217;s no way my body could physically endure another ride today. I had a really hard time keeping up with everyone today and I&#8217;m fairly certain someone would have to carry me home if I tried again tonight. So instead I committed to doing it again tomorrow. I hope it gets easier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/killed-bike-ride-map.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3778\" alt=\"killed bike ride map\" src=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/killed-bike-ride-map.jpg\" width=\"295\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/killed-bike-ride-map.jpg 478w, http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/killed-bike-ride-map-198x300.jpg 198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I was in Kansas (and nearly 15 years younger), I was able to ride 30-50 miles a day with little effort (at least, that&#8217;s how I remember it).
