FIFTY MILE RIDE

Yesterday was our first 50 Mile Ride!! I am so excited about that mark! We did it in 3 1/2 hours, that is counting about 45 waiting time. Our group was 7 people, so it was easy to get spread out after a while and we would wait to make sure we were all ok and everyone was going the right direction. I have decided that this ride is my all time favorite so far! It was a beautiful 70 degree day with little wind. We were able to ride in our shorts and Andy got quite a bit of sun... He tans so easy:) So here's to next weeks ride... I think we will bump it up to 60? Hope the weather is nice like it is this weekend... I am so ready for it!

MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT

It's probably time to get a picture out here of my wonderful Christmas Present! Andy got me my own new bike!!!! He had this great idea to do the Seattle to Portland ride in July together, and in order to do that I needed a bike! It is actually a great bike! He always spoils me a little too well:) He keeps teasing me that I only like riding because I have an excuse to buy new clothes... don't you think they look so attractive? Spandex shorts and jerseys don't count to me as "clothes"! So we have been trying to ride as much as possible in this 35 degree weather. We were so excited to go on Tuesday evening because it had been in the 50s. We started out and my thermometer said 53. As we rode, it dropped to 31. That was so depressing to watch it drop. And of course my hands were feeling that by the end. Please sun..... Come out to play..... We need some warm riding!
