Hee hee... I rather enjoyed your story, Barb! I have a friend I'd kind of like to experience that with.
Mr. Silver...i'm with you on MB.. but I finally got in and uploaded my ride..
I went on a rare (of late) group ride - one of the MS training rides going on. The course was only up to 30 miles so far, so we added a few more.
I don't know about where you guys/gals all live, but it is deathly hot here. I would have liked to go further/longer, but at 11 oclock neared, it was already 98degrees! I think I nearly did 47 at a near 17mph pace. It was a pretty flat ride. SOME inclines, but no real hills (except for one nasty 7% long one). My avg hr (which has been a little worrisome - see another post of mine in the Health forum) was lower for this muchly hill-less ride. I think I will now rest easier about the HR thing...
