First, Barb, congratulations on your personal best! Personal green jersey for you! Small victories and accomplishments keep us going! Is your next goal to keep the speed up over a longer distance or to increase your speed over the same distance?

I'm not comparing your pace to world class athletes; I'm just in awe of the Tour riders. Posties finished the TTT today in 1:12:03 for 64.5 km. That's an average of 33.4 mph for 40 miles!! WOW! Now that's haulin' the mail!!
