I rode out at 6:30 for a 42 mile ride with one of my bike friends. What was meant to be fairly leisurely turned out to be pretty challenging-- Sara is in better shape than I am in general and I think our bodies' definition of leisurely is fairly different. We ended up missing our turn, thus extending our ride by five miles. That said, the ride was much harder than I planned for it to be... I was hoping to spin my way to a proper cardiovascular base, but nahhh.

It's a slow start this year... avg speed of 14 mph. I'm not going to complain though-- there were some good hills in the mix and a stiff headwind coming home. My *** and hamstrings are complaining.

I'm starving though, so I'm going to go pick up breakfast!
