Climbs aren&#8217;t made, previously-ridden descents are walked, you don&#8217;t feel great, and things just don&#8217;t click. Today at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/highland\">Highland State Recreation Area<\/a> was one of those days. I set out for a ride by myself, but things just weren&#8217;t as keen as I&#8217;m accustomed to. I could blame the heat, perhaps being dehydrated, staying up too late with beer and popcorn watching <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Breaking_Bad\">Breaking Bad<\/a>, but it&#8217;s really just a bad day. Those happen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/75785853\">Here<\/a> is the ride data in Strava if you are interested. I attempted to ride to Milford for some of the Milford trail (aka Highland Loop E), but needing to pick Danielle up from volunteering at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the3day.org\">The 3-Day<\/a> I was short on time and turned back after reaching the Milford city limits. The route between the two is quite easy and straightforward. Hopefully I&#8217;ll actually do a Highland A-B-C-D-E later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you have those days when riding where things just don&#8217;t click.
