Life is good! I recently met my milage goal for the year (it is now revised) and was very happy with that. But I haven't really felt like I've been improving. I want to get my avg speed up to 15 mph but seem to be stuck in the upper 14 range. Some guys have been tagging along on my rides the last few weeks and awhile back I kind of complained to one that I don't feel like I've been improving. Well, during yesterday's ride he said he could tell that I've been improving. I appreciated the compliment but didn't really think I had. Anyhow, when I got home I started logging all the data from my bike computer into my log. Avg. speed was 15.3! Boy was I pleased! Now I'm afraid my big head won't fit through the door. I'm sure I'll get smoked on a hill soon and it will return to normal. No need to panic just yet.

Lesson (re)learned - Ride with people strong than you and you will get stronger.
