They were troopers, though, and woke up with me. Queen Bee even chased me down for almost two miles to deliver my rain pants, which I had left in the room. I put on those rain pants a few miles later as it started raining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, I managed to slip between most of the rain today and was only subjected to minor, intermittent \u2018sprinkles.\u2019 The road surface was decent for most of today\u2019s ride, with no huge elevation changes. Still, my legs screamed. It seems every day now is harder than the previous. It feels like my body is slowly shutting down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/20120910-IMG_1340-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/20120910-IMG_1340-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/20120910-IMG_1340-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/20120910-IMG_1340-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/09\/20120910-IMG_1340.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queen Bee and \u2018It\u2019s All Downhill\u2019 made me wake up at 4:30 this morning so I\u2019d have a fighting chance at making it to Pie Town tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2339,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-container-style":"default","site-container-layout":"default","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-transparent-header":"default","disable-article-header":"default","disable-site-header":"default","disable-site-footer":"default","disable-content-area-spacing":"default","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-riding","post_format-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1403"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1403\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2340,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1403\/revisions\/2340"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatdivideride.com\/unicycle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
