SheFly... way to make me smile


I laughed out loud and said to my partner "look what SheFly wrote"
He said, wait a minute, I'll be up in a minute" (he was sitting in chair watching telly)
I said, you don't have to, just turn around


And thanks Coyote too, seems weird to be called an inspiration so feel a little humbled by yours and Tuckervill's posts...

I am racing again today, but not a TT unfortunately... it will be 32km of rolling hills by river so I'll be in last today I am guessing
(circuitt race so at least I get to ride both sides of it, it'll be a pretty - if solo - ride)...

But I did get a mention in the Club magazine which comes out at the end of each series... The F grade report says in regard to the Moteo TT on the 17th;
"Raven (sic) made good use of her time trial bike to take second place - her best result this series".

Very chuffed with that

I think about the hurt I put myself through on my personal Thursday night sh!t-I'm-running-late-for-my-bunch-ride-again 8.5km timetrial and cringe about the pain it must take to do 25km 2.5-3kph faster. You're a machine! Winter may have been uninspiring, but the training sure paid off!

32km of rolling hills sounds way fun. Hope it went well.

Wow, I don't know how I missed this thread, but what an exciting race report!! It is SO inspiring. Thank you for writing...I am really impressed...and encouraged that maybe someday I might try it. Thanks!!!!

Thanks Diva, and Starfish

I am still looking at the stats on this TT... Still relishing it and feeling good about it.

The 32km of rolling hills was a nice ride, thanks Diva - I stopped to help someone with a flat, so not such a good finish result. I came secon in my grade - second to LAST

And thanks for the vote of confidence in my legs - I strive to be a machine - not there yet, but on the way I hope

Starfish, do have a go some day... it is sooooo much fun... particularly the next day after your recovery ride when your legs don't hurt so much, and you can relish the intensity and how far you pushed yourself. I love it (just in case you hadn't gathered that yet...)

I have an 18km TT tomorrow evening... I haven't ridden this course since February this year when I did an average of 30.11km... I aim to crack 32kph... I'll let you know

Thanks Margo - I had it

Just posted a new thread with a race report - average of 32.08kph
