Strava record of today's ride - Agawa Bay to Sault Ste, Marie. 128km, 21.7km/hr
Today was another hot one. The ride wasn't as long as yesterday, but the hills at the beginning and end were intense. Maybe not so much on their own, but after a full day under the intense sun, and the accumulation of five days and over 700kms, I was beat.
I'll note that I've been deciding along the way whether I want to ride with a group or solo. It's clear there are riders that are faster and slower than me, so finding a group isn't too difficult, but I'm still not entirely comfortable with a group. Day 1 I rode with a group, and it didn't appear we were all on the same page in terms of speed or rotating into lead position, which I found stressful. Day 2 I was forced to ride on my own due to wheel issues. Day 3 I rode on my own out of preference, and Day 4 I rode with one other rider to mix things up. Today I was back to riding on my own.
As a treat, we had an RMT come to the campsite and work on all our aches and pains. I certainly took advantage of that.
