Good for you Marina. Those hills do make for some good training rides and that is the first time I went into my granny gear.

My rides lately have been from my house. My husband who has off on Thursdays rode from our house to the Jones Beach bike path. It was 18 miles but as always there is wind going in one of the directions on the trail. Good for him it was on his back on the way home. We both have off on July 4th so that might make a good ride for us to do together. Unfortunately bikes have to stop at the parking lot and leave the bikes there if you want to go on the boardwalk. Since that is not an option for us, we just take our short brake and would just ride back home.

Actually yesterday morning we just did a short 14 mile ride from our house at 8 in the morning before he had to go to work and if I had my choice I would ride that early if not by 7 all summer long. It was great, hardly any cars, but plenty of other cyclists.

talk to you again soon, glad you were able to get in a ride this weekend.
