GLC1968 and mimitabby, of course bike commuting counts!

Sorry about work and deadlines jocelynlf , hey the weekend is supposed to be pretty decent so I hope you will get out then!

dex there is nothing worse than a summer cold, except a summer cold on a beautiful day! I'm sorry to hear that you are sick. Please take care and get well. July isn't even half over and then there's the entire month of August!

LainiePants, how did you hurt your wrist? I hope you resting it for a week will help and that it's feeling better soon!

Well Trish and I met up at 9 AM and had a great ride. The climb up to the park entrance gave us quite a workout. And we thought on the return it would be easy coming back . . . but we had one big headwind all the way back into Enumclaw! So we worked hard on the way up and on the way back down. But the scenery more than made up for it. I took one picture of Trish outside the convenience store in Greenwater. That was it. Oh and one at the start in the parking lot. Trish is one of those in shape exercise crazy gals. She pushed me and I pushed her! Even with 35 miles of climbing and then the pushing against the headwind to maintain speed on our way back down we averaged 15.57 on today's ride. We stopped at Taco Del Mars in Bonney Lake and we each ate a huge burrito. It was the best burrito I have ever eaten!

Man after today's ride I'm wondering how my legs will feel tomorrow? I'm leading a 45 mile hilly ride!
