You'd be proud of me, I gave them a big TE smile, wished them a great and safe ride ... hope they survive and are still talking to each other in a week.
Whoaaaa - I can't imagine that sweet triple on ALC with a rookie captain and stokers...they didn't even get to train on it really either...sheesh...will have to pray for that one to safely arrive at the finish!
As for that gorgeous Orbea, methinks that's the way to go with my next "puhrty" Seven...think I should add "and that means you too, cars! Don't touch or hit my bike!"
Btw, I rode my spin bike this weekend...have to sit upright though...as my head won't allow me to do any bending over w/o the wooziness...but at least I got on it, eh?!

Patting my own back
We did the MS50 yesterday, starting in Windsor and winding around northern CT into MA briefly and back down. Last year I did this ride on my mountain bike with road tires and struggled the whole way. I also wasn't in great shape. Well, thanks to a new bike and a whole winter of hard work, I kicked butt yesterday! It was sunny (most of the time) and warm with some good breezes, never from behind, though. Last year I averaged about 10mph for the ride, this year it was 14!
I actually passed people on hills and there was only one that I really struggled up. And near the end, I managed to catch up to my brother, who's usually lightyears ahead of me. My legs felt great at the end of the ride, just my shoulders and neck were achy. I'm so pleased with my progress, lets me know I've been doing the right things. A big congrats to all the other ladies who survived their rides this weekend!

What a difference a year makes NoNo, plus a year of training and a new bike!
Way to go!
And Trek420 . . . How CUTE! I just love those piggy tail seat covers! And the pig face on the handle bar. Imagine that staring at you while your ride! Hehehe Just cute.
