DH and I had a great 32-mile ride today. Amazingly, we enjoyed low humidity and highs only in the upper 70s since a cold front came through yesterday that made it absolutely spectacular for riding! We did all our errands, riding to the post office, farmer's market, a local organic farm for some additional produce, and even to Wal-Mart for ibuprofen! It was quite an adventure, and I was feeling strong and great today. I did well on hills after last weekend's much hillier ride in Ohio. Our average speed was only 13.2, but that's about the best we ever do on "utility" rides on our Bike Fridays because of the traffic in places, riding in parking lots, and our gravel road plus a long unpaved road to the farm we went to. And coming back we were loaded down lots of veggies on board and going into a headwind!

P.S. CA - I thought that event sounded fun, but we just can't seem to get going that early to make it to an out of town ride in time. We didn't even leave the house 'til 9:30 this morning! Congrats on your mileage! Today's 32 was our longest all year.
