Okay, after today's ride.... I am planning to ride Cool Breeze at an average pace of 12, yes... 12 mph!!!
I rode three harbors today (report/pics coming later) and while on the flats we were riding anywhere from 14-16ish and I still had a 12.7mph average over the 55 miles. There were a few grades, nothing major and I did wait while peddling very slowly (I will be stopping from now on :p ) for another woman to get up the grades; HOWEVER, there is NO way I will evening be thinking of anything more as an average.... sorry, party pooper here :rolleyes:
just giving everyone a 'head's up' ;)

Tracy,
I think that will be similar to what I'll be riding. Our average for the 52 mile ride the other day was 13 mph and I can only imagine that adding more climbing and another 50 miles will slow me down even more. I'll be right there with ya babe! :D
tracy..... i rarely plan on a certain average for a ride... and NEVER plan on one for a brand new ride (i have looked at my average before a ride i've done.... and yes... make that a goal... but that doesn' always work!) just ride and enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.tinklebelle.com/Smilies/images/hearye.gifI have a formal announcement to make...
Tiffanie has a dilemma. It's Cool Breeze vs. the Tim McGraw concert. To me the choice is clear, but she's not decided yet. Come on ladies...help me convince her that Cool Breeze is the right choice!
oh i LOVE that smilie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uhm.... ya.... i've seen tim in concert... and even had excellent seats... you still don't see that much.... definitely COOL BREEZE! lol!
Maybe if we promise to serenade her with Tim McGraw songs during the ride, she'll choose us over him. Or maybe not. http://www.tinklebelle.com/Smilies/i...ughinghard.gif
hmmmmmmm not sure which way would be the best to approach that one... sing???? not sing???? hmmmmmmmmmmmmQuote:

Trac'
ps. Tiffanie, what are you thinkin' woman? You can see Tim McGraw anytime... COOL BREEZE!! COOL BREEZE!! COOL BREEZE!!

You gals are crackin' me up!!! Caligurl, I love the smilie - where'd you get it?!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../butbutbut.jpgI'M SOOOOOO TORN!!!! I can't decide yet - it's making me crazy! My sis and I have had 5th row seats to this concert for 4 months! And even if he's not too impressive vocally, ummmm - I really wouldn't mind just watching him move for a coupla hours. http://www.tinklebelle.com/Smilies/images/naughty.gif

Tracy... stop stressing. You ride whatever the heck speed you want to ride, no one will force you to do otherwise... OK???? I mean this in the nicest way. It's your ride, you do it at your pace. Now stop worrying.Quote:

I'm actually getting alitle worried about the distance. Need to stop mountain biking and do more road riding - if nothing else for the seat and pedal time.
