so after every snot rocket I was tugging up the hem of my shirt to wipe my nose. Jesse was snickering at me I'm sure for being a girly girl.
I never realized "snotrocket" and "girly-girl" went together in the same sentence!!

We saw almost no traffic, no other riders.
Green with envy.

that's 4 MPH.
My normal climbing speed!

It was a good, long training ride.
It sounds like a GREAT ride. Good job, and thanks for the report!
