May 19 ride report

[Dr. Liz]

Did the Salt Lake Century today - my first century ever! (Only my second year of riding - this time last year I couldn't even imagine going that far!) I felt pretty close to kacking on the last five miles, but I made it in, and even though my odometer showed a hair under 100 miles, the organizers call it a century, so I'm calling it one too!

(And now it's time for a nice cool drink. Preferrably one with an umbrella in it! )

Congrats Dr. Liz! If you hit 99 (or even 98) call it a century.

I drove down to Tucson to do a ride at Davis Monthan Air Force Base. I only rode 27 miles, but part of it was through the "boneyard" where all the old military jets go to die. Very cool!
At the end of the ride was a drawing, and I won! I asked someone what I'd won since I didn't even know what the drawing was for, and it was a free entry for El Tour de Tucson!! Something else to keep riding for!

Thanks for all the kind thoughts! My husband keeps telling me that I don't really understand what I did today (he's right - it just seemed like a REALLY long ride ) but I'm beginning to see that this is a Big Deal. Thanks again for the support!

We did the Tour de Cure today. DH had never ridden on actual roads, only bike trails. Due to lack of training, we did 44 miles but it was 2,300' elev. which is something, especially if we haven't been training hills

It was windy, very windy actually. There were lots of hills but we did it with energy to spare. Our legs are a bit sore now but that's to be expected.

Anyway, we'll do the century next year
