My ride yesterday was stupendous! Great temps, no wind,low humidity..what a wonderful time. I rode a club ride on Wed. Very nice one too in spite of the wind, temps were great ~75...did 37 miles @ 13 mph but was itching to work harder.

Sooo, did something I've not done before...I asked another faster rider to ride on Thurs. We did 47 miles and did I work!! MPH number in my head before the ride was 15 and I had 15.1 with 2500' of climbing. Of course he had to wait for me but it really helped me push to have a 'rabbit'. Heart rate was 142 and my smile was ear to ear.

still 105 degrees here, but the monsoon is over!! woo hoo!! no more high humidity!! no more $300 air conditioning bills!!

rode 34 miles yesterday, it's hot, but a drop in the dew point is a slice of heaven!! averaged 16.3 according to the polar. but i think that factors in total time, since between stops at lights (every mile) i was pretty determined to maintain over 19, i was trying to really train hard.

we're heading into perfect cycling weather!

Went for 32.27 rolling miles ALONE this morning. Started at 8:30, the weather is so beautiful today. Early in my ride I saw 4 Blue Herons (I think- big water birds) which was spectacular. One was wading, two wear flying and one appeared to be swimming. They are really majestic birds. Also saw some billy goats who came towards the fence, very interested in whether I would bring food. I love goats. Then a whole herd of longhorns. I don't like the univ of texas longhorns but actual living Longhorns are just a sight. So powerful looking.

Toward the end of a the ride I was greeted by a motorist who must have been as happy as me about the weather. To make sure I felt their enthusiam they laid on their horn for 5-10 seconds as they approached me. I didn't want them to think I didn't appreciate their friendliness so I smilled a huge smile and waved with the utmost enthusiam.

Got home with an average speed of 15.7, not great but it is a ride full of rollers. Now enjoying a nice glass of chocolate milk before packing for our coastal getaway.
