What a 28 mile bike ride does to you

This is what a 28 mile bike ride does to you when you forget to put on sunblock.



And, yes it hurts.

With 3 weeks until our first triathlon of the season, we took advantage of a Primary activity (that both our kids went to) and Deni and I took a long bike ride today. We left our house and headed into Salem, more specifically to Salem Pond. From there we rode the race route we will be racing in 3 weeks. It starts at Salem Pond and heads into Payson and up Payson canyon. It was a beautiful clear day, not too hot, not too cold, but apparently perfect for getting a sun burn.

All in all we rode 28 miles. 28 miles sounds like a long way, however once you've ridden 28 miles, what's another 10 miles or so. I wanted to keep going, however we had to get back to pick up the kids so we headed back to the church to get them.
