Friday the 16th ride report!!!

[Flybye]

Just wanted to share a personal best/first with you.

My goal was 70.
I rode 70 miles today.
I almost didn't make it!

I felt pretty pooped before I even set out. I had that feeling that I wasn't going to get done today. I didn't sleep well last night and woke up early this morning.

I rode 42 miles to the city nearest mine and w:(ssed out. My mom lives there. I rode to her doorstop and had her give me a ride home. Mommy :o:o:o

The entire drive home the inner drill sarg. was giving me heck. My mom dropped me off at my house, I had lunch, and went out and finished up. Don't tell my mother :eek:

It was a beautiful day. I feel great for pushing through the mental/physical block. A good milestone to have under the belt.

I'll be topping the day off with my best girlfriend and a chick flick.

Thanks for letting me share.

Anyone else have a great ride?

Woops! Just saw the other ride thread -- sorry Susan126 - what great pictures. :o

I had to respond to this because the "butter - the other white meat" cracked me up :D

I did not do 70 miles, however, I found time to do 15. Lovely day yesterday here in the great PNW....85, sunny, mountains a bright white against a brilliant blue sky. Can't ask for better!

Congrats on the personal best flybye!!

CONGRATULATIONS Flybye on persevering and finishing your 70 mile ride! Don't worry I won't tell your mom! :p Way to go! Wooo Hoooo!

Hope you had a good time with your friend! You earned a good movie! I just hope you didn't fall asleep during the movie! I know after a long hard ride I am so tired I usually can't keep my eyes open once I'm showered and relaxed for the night. But that's me! I think it's my age getting to me! :D

Again congrats on finisihing your 70 mile ride!

And cyclingnewbie, 15 miles is great too! Especially with this gorgeous weather we've been getting! Enjoy it! I was out in it yesterday morning too. I did 30 miles on the Orting Trail. I started from the trail head in Puyallup next to the tulip farm and went to the end at South Prairie then back to Puyallup. 30 miles out and back! :D

Susan that sounds like a fabulous ride! I managed a ride each day this weekend...weather was way too nice to miss. After all, we may not see sun again until NEXT summer!;):p

Seriously though, I am going up to Bellingham this weekend, and am taking my bike. It will be a treat to ride some flat land instead of the hills here. I have decided that I do not like hills....they just get in my way!

Cyclinnewbie, this weekend is supposed to be nice! Not as hot as this past weekend but nice! According to kiro and king 5 in the 70s and sunny! Perfect biking weather.

Yea, what's up with those hills getting in the way? Bellingham will be fun! Joe and I will be riding locally all three days of this Memorial Day weekend. I can't wait!

Have fun!
