This Labor Day didn't see much fishing but we traveled to world breaking distances in our bike riding. On Saturday we traveled 33.08 miles and on Sunday we traveled 41.21 miles both record setting.

On Saturday we rode to Greencastle. That ride had more hills than I anticipated. I just cannot ride up those hills...and the gears on my bike don't work as they are suppose to work. I cannot shift into a lower gear unless I have absolutely no tension on the chain which is hard to do if you are going uphill. I also had a problem that we finally determined was dehydration. I usually don't drink a lot of water on my rides but this time it caught up with me. I had to stop and recover.

On Sunday we rode to Bridgeton and then on to Rosedale. The ride to Bridgeton was pretty hilly but the ride to Rosedale was a snap. Nice flat road with little traffic. We stopped at the cemetery to visit some of the family and even found a member that I didn't know was there.

These rides do not produce an extreme exhaustion but only a fatigue that is overcome with a little rest. It is very strange.
