worst. ride. ever.

1. it was 82 miles (about 20 more than i was expecting)
2. i got a late start
3. i got lost on my way out of altoona, and ended up wasting at least a half hour and 5 miles
4. i got lost again looking for old rt. 22 in gallitzin, and wasted another half hour and 5 miles
5. it was cold and cloudy and off and on spitting rain all day
6. i was (of my own fault, bad planning) riding on a us highway that was 4 lane divided, but not illegal to ride on, for a good distance
7. to avoid this highway, i ended up taking back roads that went straight up and over several mountains
8. i didn't get in until nearly 8pm

but then i had a shower and burritos and played scrabble. i'm so exhausted. better riding tomorrow, with any luck!
