LRRH Ride Reports

[sbctwin]

Hi Flyby...If it was the first rest stop, I led our group into the Marina...about the only time I 'led' our group. I am feeling very good. Sunday, I was moving in slo-mo but I wasn't doing too bad. I couldn't even sleep in past 5:30am on Sunday morn. I did my commute to work on Monday, and my commuter bike definitely felt kind of 'off'. Today, no commute because I had to take my dear Kallie girl to the vet. She lost another 3/4 lbs since the last vet visit and the vet said that for a kitty who was on death's door in April, she is doing wonderfully. I took my Bella in to have the gearing checked for my Tour de Cure ride this weekend. After my century, doing only 60 miles on the Tour should be easy

Hi Flyebye, my daughter is 13 and I am so proud of her! She did 38 miles the last 2 years, so this was quite a step up for her.

We've had loads of fun riding together to all kinds of places over the years, starting her in the bike seat on the back, on to the Burley, the "third wheel", and her own bike. My husband and son ride too, but LRRH is a very special mom & daughter treat. Hope to see you riding it with your daughters too some day!

Okay, let's see if I can get my pics to load properly. The first one is from the first rest stop looking towards the mountains and back to Wellsville. I don't really remember much of the twenty-two miles to get to here because I was doing the potty dance on my bike! Didn't matter that I went at the hotel, went at the start, I had to go five miles into the ride. Grr! http:// The second one is just a shot of my bike at the rest stop. I got several comments on my map holder, many from ladies who had gotten misdirected and ended up adding eight miles to their ride. http:// The last one is of the Blues Brothers at the last rest stop. They would lay your bike in the grass and fill your water bottles if you wanted. "Bike valet parking is free, ma'am!" http://
Yes, SK, I heard you hollering!
I can only hope that this Saturday's century is half as organized as this one was.

Nice photos! I like how your sports drink matches your route sheet

That wasn't intended! The hot pink route sheet just happened to match the fruit punch Cytomax.

Tater - thanks for the pictures - I didn't get to see the Blues Brothers - I am glad I got a shot of that! I emailed the bike picture of the marina to myself so I can add it to my pictures. What did Mr. Tater end up doing the day of LRRH? Mr. Flybye caught several nice fish - 4 total.

Bikedutchess- 13 Years old - WOW!! My oldest DD is 9 and still at that age where walking a few miles is a feat - it is amazing how fast they can change. Makes me want to be sure to savor the moments-

To all - well, now it is back to reality for me. I have let the house cleaning slide for a little over two weeks and now it is more daunting than riding 60 some odd miles. Funny how it seems so overwhelming, yet I could hop on the bike and ride 40 easily. Toilets, here I come.

House cleaning? What is that?
