I did something today that I haven't done in a loooong time. I went for a ride with DH. Just the two of us. On one of our old favorite routes - the Triathalon Loop (we name all our routes) up into Howard County. It was really nice to be out, just the two of us.
We did 42 miles @ 16.4, just shy of 2400' climbing. It was mostly cloudy, surprisingly humid, and warm (high 70s, low 80s). And today is the last day of summer, isn't it?2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

I rode 50.88 (how do you calculate climing ft?) at a leisurely 15mph. I forgot one very very important ingredient in my ride today... sunscreen! OMG!
I am cooked. I wasn't wearing my gloves today either, so... gag.. When was the last time you krispy krittered your hands??!! Sheesh. I feel like a real nerdlette...forgetting my sunscreen. DUH!
Shoulders forearms and hands... ouch. Guess I'll be forced to wear sleeves and gloves tomorrow for sure!
I have a club century next Saturday and I'm not ready for it... They say its pretty flat (hope so!), but its so hilly around here, I kinda feel like they're saying "it's all downhill from here". (you know that old lie!)2009 Giant Avail Advanced 1

I had a great 45 mile ride yesterday at avg of 17mph, but dang I wanted to go for more... what a fun ride!! Low winds, no clouds, beautiful day!
so here I sit Sunday morning and I am SOOOOOOOOOOO going to do 60+ today. It's beautiful in Chicago this weekend... and I am jonezin for a really really long ride! So hopefully the group will want to ride further... if not, I might be out for an additional 40 alone... but that's okay... I think I know how to change my own flat
