Went on a "typical" weekend ride with my dh. Since I am still new to cycling, I'm not sure doing something 3 times makes it typical, but oh well. We ride 10 miles to a local diner for breakfast, then we ride another 15-20 miles home. It was a beautiful morning to ride today.

Went on an easy 20 mile ride today. It threatened to rain but never did I thought my legs might be sore after yesterday's ride but they were fine. The temps were in the mid-80's and the humidity was still up there - but compared with yesterday the air actually felt somewhat cool when I started - nice!

my husband and I did a nice 10 miles on our local rails-to-trails as the sun was setting tonight. It was a such a nice end to the day....after a lot of stress and sadness today (my grandfather passed away unexpectedly overnight). it just felt so good to get on my bike and breathe some fresh air and let it pump into my muscles.

Big day for me! 41 miles on Mount Lemmon. I cheated a little, started at 5800 feet at mile 11, rode up to an elevation over 8200 feet, and with all the ups and downs, had about 4000 feet of gain. I took advantage of a chance to ride all the way to the bottom at 2500 feet though. Had to ride through a rainstorm for about 4 miles along the ridgetop.

52 kms. Today was very bright blue, sunny day. Just gorgeous. I was ready to fade at 40 kms. for not eating during the ride. But no worries, as planned we stopped for a snack and container of fresh raspberries which are plentiful right now in our area.

WOW! Congrats!

I did 53 miles, straight through with no stopping (other than traffic lights.) Felt really strong plus needed to get rid of some stress!
