Hi Emily- congrats on getting back on the road bike! Glad to hear you had such a nice time!!

I had a great fast club ride in the Hill Country, 40 miles. Some wind, but a beautiful day, just enough breeze to not overheat. I was joined by a good friend which always makes it nice, and we beat the fast men to the rest stop (although they did ride more than us to get there) which always feels good. I feel so strong on my new bike. I am still amazed at how much difference a bike can make. I ride my older heavier bike during the week, which I think is good training, and it makes weekend rides feel extra special since I notice the difference in weight. -e
