Texas & surrounding states Rides/Races

Mesquite was nice today - the little bit of spit'zzle was just fine - not too wet - did you guys make it? I was all set to do the 40, but this was hubsters first group ride and I figured he might need a little encouragement so I did the 20 with him. He did great, spun his way up the hills huffing and puffing, complained loudly the all way through it, and then filled out the survey and said "Great 1st ride!". I am looking forward to doing the longer rides together when I get him up to speed, I have noticed that I am gaining a lot more speed now than I was - I used to mash up hills at about 6 to 8 miles per hour but had NO trouble spinning up them at about 14 today!

Collin classic will be great - another member from this board is riding with me, if you don't have someone to ride with holler! We are doing the 30ish but may change our minds and ride further if we feel up to it. Hubster will do another 20ish that day. Poor guy slept all afternoon today!

Yes, we made it. I was glad for the clouds as it kept the heat down. My friend ended up hurting her knee jogging earlier in the week so she didn't come. I ended up doing 40 with dh and friend's dh. It was his first organized ride, too. It was my best effort at 40 ever! It was nice to have them to draft off of through a long southbound portion with the nasty winds.

Friend is still in question for Saturday so I'll let you know if I wind up solo.

Did you try the pickle juice??? ACK!!
