May 4th Rides

[Fredwina]

I did 32 miles
I rode to to start of the womens we had a new gal , and she had forgotten part of her QR(she had taken it completely apart. I told to got to REI (near place that sells bike stuff) and get another one we took off into the wind. Halfway thru Tia (ms QR) met us , she had found the missing piece of the QR.
About halfway through, I was a bit out in front. I came across a man standing on the trail next to an electric wheelchair/scooter. His battery had ran out , and need a push to next street so his buddy could pick him up. so I got some bonus cardio in!
Coming I remembered that the minor league team had a home game today. Last time, I rode by just as the game ended. So I took a detour today

I got sunburned today. Guess it's time to dig up the sunscreen...
And you know what I loved the most about a group ride? Hearing 35 people 'clipping in" at the same time. Cool.

I followed old faded arrows for a local club ride that leads through quintessential new england countryside for a total of 38 miles. I got a flat at mile 10 and didn't have any levers. I won't be forgetting those again! But I changed it and kept going, and so glad I did. What a beautiful ride.

On one of the climbs, a long, slow rise out of a ravine, someone had painted "Ay, Mama!" on the road with a smileyface. It made me grin.

I waited for my hubby to come home from work and we went for a 11 mile ride with one major hill. The wind was at 15-20 mph but I managed to keep the bike going forward. Nothing fascinating with me but I must say that reading all of your posts here inspires me to keep pushing myself to go a little further.
