Basically everything below my sternum has been in pain since my ride. Yes, it&#8217;s just 25 minutes of riding a bike, but it&#8217;s 25 minutes of riding a bike as hard as I can. And this year, that was not very hard at all. Last year I rode 19.22km, and this year I came in just shy of 17. I am a bit disappointed, but in all fairness, I was in the best shape of my life when I rode last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of all, though, I&#8217;m very proud of the artwork that I made for my team!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cambrian-Cruisers-2023-square.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cambrian-Cruisers-2023-square-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cambrian-Cruisers-2023-square-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cambrian-Cruisers-2023-square-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cambrian-Cruisers-2023-square-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cambrian-Cruisers-2023-square-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cambrian-Cruisers-2023-square.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It was kind of a last-minute thing; I wasn&#8217;t going to do it, but then a pretty girl told me how much she liked the piece I did last year and asked me if I&#8217;d do another so&#8230; call me a simp if you must.
