That's a "thermometer challenge ride" on bikejournal (conceived of by "HOward" in an effort to catch me; he's now >100 miles behind again, though of course a century would pretty much swallow that!!).

Rode to church and then out to the time trial, which I "won" - managed to be 20 seconds faster than the other woman who did it. Hoping she will ride with me next time (we can do it in pairs on the computer; I was up against a guy much faster than me, and she prob'ly was, too, tho' a fair number of them were slower than us :-)).

The prize is braggin' rights and free admission to the next one. Goal: take off 20 secons and 5 pounds. (I *am* 5 pounds lighter than last year's though )
