LBS group ride. I got some nice compliments from the guys tonight. One guy stopped me afterward to tell me that the A group is going to have trouble keeping up with me pretty soon.I dont know about that but I did ride very well and we averaged 22.4 mph on the 28 mile route. I am very proud of my progress! YAY me!

Wow! I'm impressed with that average speed, arielmoon!
My rides today were mostly commuting-based. I've made a commitment not to drive anywhere in my car this week due to the gas shortage here in Georgia. So, I rode to Lowe's to get a water heater part, then to Kroger for a few groceries, and stopped by Starbucks on the way home.
Total miles: 22 - so hey! I saved at least a gallon of gas today, AND had the joy of riding my bike!

Did a 22 mile intervals ride with my friend. It was my first real intervals ride. I LIKED it! Something different to break up the usual rides and I know it will help my speed.
I would LOVE to average 22 mph!!! (I think I'll need a LOT more intervals!)
