Ok I haven't posted a ride in awhile. Today I did a ride with 3 other people we rode from the bike shop in Greenfield MA up through Vermont and back again. We did a wicked hill that I thought I was gonna die on. It went up and crested and then went up and crested and then went up again! I think that is how it is in Vermont up up and more up! Although I was in my easiest gear and breathing so hard, I did it! We did 41-1/2 miles, avg speed was 15.3. Hit a down hill and went about 40 mph! It was a beautiful day for a ride, not too hot (about 60 when we left) and so sunny. We saw some ducks and geese on a pond, and some wild turkeys running across the road. Great day

oh I almost forgot, hubby wanted me to check the mileage on part of a route he had walked this morning, so tonight about 6 pm i hop on my bike and after about 1-1/2 miles I have a flat. Back tire. I changed it all by myself! I did go through two CO2 tubes but I DID IT. His route was a 4 mile trek! I ride 41 miles this morning no problems, ride 4 miles and get a flat. crazy
