September 28 Rides

[wackyjacky1]

The doggie basket thing is flippin' AWESOME!

I had a great ride today. The weather is near perfect (sunny, mid-80s) although we're having an Air Quality Alert today (too much ozone). I only did 9 miles, but that's a lot for me (still doing those baby steps ) and I felt fresh and strong throughout. I even took on two big hills that I would have avoided in the past. (Yay, me. )

Here's my trusty bike waiting for me outside the coffee bar I like to stop at toward the end of my Sunday rides. (That is the carrot I dangle in front of me for motivation -- if I have a good ride, I treat myself to an iced soy latte, then it's an easy 1.5 miles the rest of the way home.)

Now I gotta grab a quick shower and settle in to watch my beloved Redskins BEAT THE COWBOYS!!!
