What's The Name of That Willie Nelson Song? Wait, Don't Tell Me...

New York City to Binghamton, NY. 190 miles.

Finally on the road! My back quickly started getting sore as I tried to maintain correct posture. My body had clearly weakened since my steady 500 mile days 6 years ago, when I could ride all day and still have energy to go out after and wake up at 8am and do it all over again. I felt old. But it’s not just me that needs to adapt. My seat, riding pants, and helmet all had to be broken in as well. I was still feeling stressed for being behind schedule and rushing up here. Nice ride otherwise, except that I knew the route so well. I’d be more alert in new territory. Started to feel excited, still too many last minute details to be really psyched but getting there.
