22 miles around my little town. I think I'll be trying out different routes close to home for more hill training. I like to ride with our group usually so riding by myself yesterday was new for me. I enjoyed it and there was VERY little traffic to contend with.

It was a beautiful day! 80 degrees and windy. Wind gusts up to 25/30 mph. But since I rode in wind gusts up to 45 mph for 50 miles a couple of weeks back, I was up for it.
OMG! I was fast. I was shocked. I passed a few boys.
Yes, I like passing the guys. I know they look at little 'ol me on my roadie (I was riding with guys on a tri bikes)... and I'm flying by them and I know they are grumbling. A few even picked up their pace some.
I kept around 16-18 mph into the headwind... and around 25-29 mph with the wind at my back. FUN!
My boyfriend even commented that he has never seen me ride so fast.
I guess all my hours on the bike trainer are paying off!
So, 21 miles with a 17.5 mph average overall. Fast for me!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"
