LOL, I thought some of those looked familiar

- Ride a metric century, either the Cinderella Classic at the end of March, or perhaps sooner than that, do the full length & back of the American River bike trail near Sacramento.
Check!
- Get to the point where a 50-60 mi ride isn’t a big deal for me. I'm about at that point with a 30 mile ride, so there's hope
err, 2 steps forward, one step back on that. Mid-March thru May I was doing 60-70 mile rides. Then in early June I came down w. the head cold from hell followed by a long vacation/work trip. After being off my bike for over a month, my first ride after I returned home I could barely manage 15 miles I'm working my mileage back up though, and it's taking me less time than the first time around.
- Go by the 15 mph speed limit signs on the paths I ride without wistfully thinking “yeah I wish!”. At the very least, I'd like to be able to keep up with my husband (or maybe even start pushing *him*, heh).
Yes!! I can do around 15-18 on the flats now, where I used to just manage 10-12 mph. And I'm definitely keeping up w. the hubby these days.
- Meet the Bay Area members on this list (and, if I'm really lucky, learn from Kim how to tape handlebars)
I've met snapdragen, melissam, and aka_kim, and hopefully before the year is out I'll finally meet Veronica & Adventure Girl & Trek420. As for taping, I've twice swapped out the handlebars on my bike so I think I've become reasonably OK at taping handlebars ... the tape stays put so I guess I'm doing it right!
- Maybe, maybe, maybe do a 100 mile century ride this year. A girl can dream.
Well, that's why they call them stretch goals. At least I have over 5 months to accomplish that one

- Jo.
