Oh this poor guy! But I bet he's stronger tomorrow morning...
It's so tough to show up and get the ---- hammered out of you; he did very well today, thought he was walking awful early in the day tho'... but he was there, the whole time. More stops than usual, but thats to be expected. Good on him to stick it out. Pretty soon he'll be as fast as the presently fastest...
Lately I've been riding with some old-timers up-island... in another house of my life, I'm the new guy, getting hammered, and getting stronger. Just sayin'.
My role here for the new fellow is to be quite patient and encouraging. I successfully rallied the team around the guy, and I think that went well.
We climbed 792m total today, and took about 3h45m to get to the start of the down part of the day's ride. A nice challenging descent was had, and I have to hand it to him: he rode the descent well and thoughtfully. All told we were biking for 4h45m, a very solid day.
