Annual Mini Tour de Blast

Oh God, why did I do a leg-buster hike the day before our second annual Mount St Helens ride? I pretty much left my dignity on the road today. 50 miles and 4,500+ feet of climbing, and a lot less preparation than when we did this ride last year in June prior to STP. My skin is burned to a crisp and my butt is noticeably swollen but it was well worth it. Now, bring on the midterms!
