Whoo hoo, 162km (100 miles) today! We rode around the lake (Kelowna to Vernon) just for the fun of it. We did 5775 feet of climbing (not for the fun of it) and my legs are so tired. Got stung my a wasp at 152 km point, but was 1k away from the ER so picked up the waspy culprit and rode over to get checked out. Didn't have to use my epipen because the critter didn't get enough venom into me to cause any damage. (Yay) Now I'm off to eat pizza and drink Sangria!

Swept a 31 mile club ride. Thankfully, the horrible heat and humidity held off until we were nearly done. This Friday series is getting very fast and I was glad my husband was leading and that there were 2 slower people for me to stay behind. Well, I did go ahead on the hills, but I warned them and waited for them, since I know them both well. I had to give one of them some of my water as he started feeling not so good near the end, and he was out of water.
It's a little strange that when i ride alone or with my husband, my average is usually between 15.3 and 16.5, but when I ride with this group, I feel under pressure to keep up at this speed. So, I am happy to sweep. But, I have to lead one more of these at the end of September and my husband won't be there; I guess they might have to deal with a slower ride.

Only four pieces of pizza? I think you deserved at least 6! Originally Posted by kelownagirl

Ouch but that was quite a ride. You should be proud!
