The calm after the storm. A rest day. So, how do you rest and move 110 miles down the road?
It's all about conserving energy. You climb hills in low gears (spinning) with as little pressure on the pedals as possible. You coast down hills. If the wind is favourable, you again ride (quite fast) with as little pressure as possible. Riding in groups allows you to expend even less effort. You eat. You drink. Lots.
You write short blog entry. You sleep early...
