| Comments: Test CC Tour from Houston, MS to New Albany, MS on Tanglefoot Trail. Added 7 miles after New Houlka stop. Definitely had nice tailwind during last 20 miles of ride past Pontotoc. Flew on way in, stopped for lunch at mexican place, felt like a total alien. Then no prob to hotel and had electronic check in. Couldn't have gone better. 800' vertical, 1712 calories, ATemp:77F |

| Comments: Return ride on Tanglefoot from Hampton Inn to Houston. Was supposed to be killer headway the whole way, and certainly was substantial at times, but not consistently. Was in a great rhythm after Pontotoc, was flying until I got a flat on gravel at a grade crossing. took it easy after that. The rock cut a hole in the tire sidewall. 800' vertical, Cal:1600, ATemp:67F |

A Trail Closed, Fuck You sign at 14 miles. Then 14 miles into a very steady headwind on way back. Shorter ride than I wanted but decent workout. Legs are feeling better |

| Comments: Ride from USM on LL after a night of nearly no sleep in a shitty hotel room. New paving on trail on the long climb. Had to walk around barricades, ponding water on new asphalt made a mess. Near end of ride shifting in smallest gear went to shit. Pretty shitty ride overall. Was not motiviated to ride hard. I did chase a couple coupple up last climb which helped a bit. 800', MDP:73F. VERY humid morning but not as hot (ATemp:73F). Completed drenched jersey again but not percieved as bad as last TT ride (MDP:77F). |
