BabyBlue just remember to ride your ride not weekend. Don't allow yourself to get caught up in how fast others are riding. Find your rhythm early and stick to it and it will be a grand day!

I passed on today's century, legs simply were too tired after yesterday's hammerfest. I joined the club for a 22 mile ride mid-afternoon. It is mostly flat and my legs appreciated that little factor. They did scream out when I headed up the one big hill on the route but as always they carried me to the top. The best part of today's ride was riding with a good friend whom I have not seen for quite some time. We spent the ride catching up and bless her heart listened patiently to me as I shared my pain over my recent breakup with my partner. We went out after the ride for a drink and I'm hoping she will come back to some of the upcoming club rides - she is a real joy to be around and offers great advice and insight.
