The weather is getting a little more conducive to longer rides around here, though still hot in the afternoons. My DH joined me on a group ride that headed south and east of Tucson on a 67 mile ride to Vail, Corona de Tucson and Sahuarita. I kept up okay until the first stop (about 17 miles) and stayed with a group of 4 until the 2nd stop (about 33 miles) but as often happens, fell behind after that. Good thing the DH was super tired from doing intervals to keep himself occupied on the first half of the ride, so he was happy to ride my pace for the rest of the way. Smoothie and sandwich afterward, followed by a nap.

Tomorrow we're going to the 2nd session of the El Tour de Tucson training program, with the Carmichael Training Systems Coaches. The actual ride will be very short, as the schedule tomorrow is for cornering drills and a presentation on nutrition, but I might ride the 10 miles to the starting location.
