Tour de Pink is Sunday!

Well I survived it and I did get a chance to meet amelia05. (Hi Joy!) I had a blast. Did most of the ride by myself and made great time. Did the 47 miles in right at 3 hours. Now I'm exhausted and ready to go hop in the pool!

Here's a pic of me and Joy (I'm on the left)

OK do y'all see the link? I see it in my post, but not when I submit it. What's up with that??

Glad you had a great ride......I did the 12 miles in just under 50 minutes. I started after everyone else because I have never ridden in a group before and I wear those clipless gadgets and didn't want to fall in the middle of a group of riders, or fall on anybody. I had a $100.00 bet with one of the doctors I work for (she is a huge runner, but not a cyclist); I passed her in the last mile and finished first, and she finished second. The moment I got off the bike, I realized I was sore, but, oh, so worth it!! What a great day for a ride!!! Do you have any plans on doing the Lions Biking for Sight ride on Sept. 24?? I'm thinking about it.

Way to go on the 47 miles...someday I will be there!!

I would like to do that ride too, but I think my family would list me as MIA if I did it. Two rides in one month might be pushing it. Thankfully, they are very tolerant of my new "hobby/exercise," but I don't want to push it!

<<and plus, I really can't think of another long ride until I at least clear up the diaper rash from this one!! >>

My Tour de Pink was good too...if slow. I was about 2 minutes slower this year than last year. I was about 10 lbs lighter and trained a lot more for it last year, though, so I guess that's to be expected. It was nice meeting you, midgetcycler!

Toni, I was going to do the biking for sight ride with my husband, but now we're considering the Bike Barn wine ride instead. I did the Biking for Sight ride a couple years ago (42-mile), and the route is great. Nice and shady through the national forest parts, small rolling hills throughout. I also did the 63-mile course for the TX Cycling Classic last year (they start from the same place, use the same routes), and it was nice too...though the hills were a bit, um, hillier on the longer course.
