Fredwina, you are amazing.

We did 20 miles, we were afraid we'd be caught in the rain, so we stayed close to home. somehow we also managed to get 1700 feet of climbing in there too. (did I say we lived on a hill?)

1700?!! and to think I was whining when I did 2200' in 44 miles.

DH did his first 50 miles today I had to work so I am living life vicariously.

I did 35 miles today... on my new saddle So far so good... the ride was a slower than normal pace as we had 2 riders with us in clipless pedals for the first time... they did great! For me, the slower pace was good recovery anyway from last weekend... I felt pretty darned good tho so I was happy!

Sounds like everyone had decent rides!

Fredwina... how far was the brevet to be? Last week when I did STP, I hit a bump and my headlight flew off my bike into my spokes Kept it upright and the pack avoided it. Stopped and picked it up... 20 miles later or so, another bump and off went the headlight... at that point I decided I'd be buying a new one... that straps on Ordered a cateye yesterday

125 miles. but I started from my place about 6 miles away (big mistake!)

Did my 20-mile loop out to the reservoir and around the back side of the forest park. Decided not to "cross-train" the hills this time, but rather wait til my HR had dropped and get back on the bike. It worked

DH and I did 47 miles into MA and back again to NY. It was really hilly and I got pretty tired. But we went slowly and had a good time.
