Biking Journal 40

Yesterday, July 14, I rode out to the lake like I said I would. It was 89 degrees and only a 10 mph breeze from the SW so it pushed me all the way. I did feel a little dehydrated when I got there even though I had stopped along the way to drink water. Curt had driven out there and picked me up on the gravel. We went out on the boat and Cindy and I rode on the tube and then I tried to ski but after the 4th try, I got a really bad cramp in my left calf and so that ended my attempts at skiing. Even today my leg is very sore so I used that as an excuse not to ride out to the cabin today, that and that I am very tired. This is my eighth night of work and I just feel wiped out. I did go out to the cabin and was going to go swimming because it was beautiful and the water was so still but it looked like split-pea soup with a thick layer of slime on top. We couldn't bring ourselves to jump in. We even went over to the public access and even though it wasn't as green we decided not to go in. I helped Cindy and Mom work on a jigsaw puzzle and we ate supper and now I am at home getting ready to go to work. Tomorrow we are having our Ladies Day Out. I'll blog about it later.
