Okay, now that Fredwina pointed out the error of my "July 18th Rides" post, I'll repost my July 17th ride, since it won't be July 18th until tomorrow and who knows what ride I'll do then! (Thanks Fredwina! I almost looked up the date to make sure I was right ... Shoulda.)

Hubby and I took the tandem up to Neely's Corner and back. 17.5 miles. 825 feet of climbing. We did our fastest time together yet ... 17.5 average pace. We both felt good and strong. I remember doing it a few weeks ago and I was really pushing it more than I ever had on the tandem, but didn't feel as good as this time, nor did we go as fast, though it was our fastest at that time.

A great ride. The weather was nice. It was a good reminder of why I like to ride, since my last solo ride was so difficult (HOT! ) and our last tandem ride wasn't the best experience either (60 miles to the beach). Today's great rides are the one's that keep me going!
