71 miles--it is really not that much farther to do a century, Ms. Corsair! You are developing a good base milage; I predict a century soon in your future
Speaking of a ride in the redwoods--it is a great ride to just start at the Avenue and head south,you can easily go 35-40 miles, and I think that fall is really the most beautiful time, and the weather is the best then. Our group planned a early summer ride at dinner tonight. Let me know if you ever want to meet to do it, snapdragen.
The only bummer about today is that that young guy who teaches one of the pace classes I do, and who is a big, agressive rider, really wiped out today. He did also at wildflower, but with only road rash to show for it. This time, it may be a broken collarbone, pelvis and leg. Ugh. He is self employed and recently had a new baby, so that's gonna be tough, plus that is a hard combination to heal from.
OK, time for bed.
