Xeney,
It's a wonderful and rare thing when one can ride bikes with the one they love and share that fun together. Many women have no one to ride with and wish so much that they did. Having fun riding together is way more important than how fast either of you go.I'm glad you got out riding again together today! I think it's so sweet when my DH asks me to go for a ride. I feel like it's a date (and I know he's totally checking me out from behind)

Lisa....Xeney...Popoki_Nui...great posts. love the pictures, the notion of bike dates, and the bike ham
On a practical note...
Rode for the first time since Sunday. Rode an easy pace for 20 minutes to start. Then the work. Did hill repeats. Basically five climbs....two on a 7.0% grade, one on a 9.7% grade, and two on a 15.1% grade, with the descent on each one being the rest period.
I'm trying to get 40,000 ft of climbing for september. Now if only I could get up a lot faster!

Yesterday I rode my new bike ( http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=10501 )to work for the first time. It was very foggy in the morning (I didn't need to drink any water - I was absorbing enough just from all the moisture in the air!), but beautiful and sunny for my ride home.
Hey - it turns out that my new road bike is much faster on the commute than my moutain bike! Who would have guessed? Plus, with a real computer (instead of my best guess), I discovered that my half commute is actually 7.01 miles each way. I had been selling myself short, mileage-wise. I guess I am one of those "bean counters," Knotted!
I am still trying to get used to how the road bike handles. It is much more responsive. I almost keeled over at one point - trying to put my water bottle back in its cage, it brushed against the brake cable... - to my utter surprise, I didn't quite crash into the guard rail. It was close, though.
