Great job CC!
Spring has sprung in texas, I actually managed to do 2 club rides this weekend, 40 miles on saturday and 28 on sunday! I pushed really hard on saturday and road with a new peer group, moderately paced men and fast paced women. We ended up with a group of strong men that got a kick out of 'pulling the girls' so many of us did a personal best on that ride. We 40 milers even beat the fastest men's group in that was doing 50 miles, which was a first for many of us. But, I paid for it today, crawled up the hills on what started out as an aggresive ride but ended up more of a recovery ride.
The weather is so nice, that I am getting ready to drive a bunch of clothes and food in to work so I can ride in all week.

Have not been riding too much, but today DH and I rode 38 miles. 38 miles was my goal as I am turning 38 this week so the ride was to usher in my new age
I pushed the pace a little faster then usual. After the ride DH said he felt fine, my legs were a little tired. He took a "short" nap then was trying to walk down stairs and was complaining his that his legs were tired My plan if all goes well with my back and hamstrings is to run 38 min on my birthday. Sounds kind of silly I know but it gives me a goal. Used to be able to run longer but a few years ago all my running destroyed my hamstrings. We will see what happens. Have a great ride

congratulation on getting back on the bike. Happy happy. What a lovely day. blue sky. I hope it wasn't too hot.
only did 12 miles between the rain... still not 100%.
Well, on the way back, I passed a guy on kestrel solist. we played cat and mouse on a gentle incline. dropped the guy when I pushed my speed to 21MPH. (gasping for air) then he took a short cut. (not fair! not fair!) but then I caught him and passed him. He passed me when he buzzed the stop light. (sheesh!!) He wasn't even doing 18MPH when I first caught him. It's not a race.
supposed to be fun weekend ride.
