Today was day number two of three of our three 100+ mile days. Yesterday went great, but I am worried that my body will be more fatigued today after having ridden so far yesterday.
Today we rode by hundred of windmills used to generate electricity. They are over 250 feet tall. The blades are 130 feet long. They cost over 2.5 million dollars to build, and the farm owners are paid $7,000 for each windmill on their property. I also calculated that the tip of the blade is going about 120 mph. It was nice to see them not moving at the beginning of the day.
The last part of the day was hard. I was tired and my body was sore. So, I stopped and took a nap for about 1/2 hour. This recharged me some and made the last bit a little easier.
