The afternoon thunderstorms finally held off so that we could get in a great ride. It rained all day, so it was nice and cool (ha- low 80s) but oddly not that humid. We rode 31.64 miles at a whopping 17.4 mph. It is a rolling ride, so this is a very admirable pace and a personal best for me! DH said "You rode like a woman possessed." I guess that is a compliment?

DS and I tried to ride together for the 2nd time this week. Earlier try resulted in a flat as he was airing it up. Yesterday we got a mile when his other tire went flat. He walked home and I continued my ride. Nice 40 miles ride that didn't get too warm until the end. I stopped for a drink and talked with a lady who told me about 2 cyclist that were killed on the road I ride, about 20 years ago. The drunk driver said he thought they were a deer--didn't stop--cyclists found the next day--driver was never prosecuted. Baaaaad too familiar story.
I will definitely be watching my rear view mirror close as a hawk. Stay safe out there cyclist.
