Due to connection issues again last night I was unable to post. I'm not sorry. It would have been a much saltier post. It was a long day and on top of that I was on kitchen clean up duty after dinner.
We kicked off the day with a grueling climb out of town that we had already done on Sunday while checking out the town. That was only the beginning. More hills kept us guessing most of the 80 mile day and an 8 mile stretch of headwinds to finish the day it was a tough one. Officially the day was 71 but with some "Bonus miles" we got to the house. The only reason I didn't melt down before the bonus miles was we actually cut off miles for Tuesday's ride because we were further down the route. That worked out at least.
Dinner was steak night! We had top sirloin that Dan (chef extrodinaire) grilled to perfection with mashed "beau"tatoes (beau is the jester chef), a mix of 3 fresh beans and a tomato/cucumber salad made with some local produce from one of our hosts guests. It was a highlight for sure. We finished the meal with a homemade carrot cake that was possibly the best I've ever had. As usual, another phenomenal meal but my one complaint is that they used too many dishes for me to clean.
