    42 miles for me - fairly flat terrain. Humid day, though. C'mon Autumn!

    Seemed more difficult than usual. Have been trying to stave off a cold & haven't been sleeping well.

    Off to San Francisco on Monday. Will probably rent one of those gawd-awful bikes & go across the bridge to Sausalito with DH. He loves that. I'm terrified of heights and bikes that don't shift when they're supposed to. I'm spoiled

    I just have to say it is so inspiring to read what all you others did today! What great rides and great stories!

    Over here, I finally did lie down- just as DH was getting up. Now I'm up again and getting ready to make fresh corn on the cob and tomato-cucumber salad for dinner.....but poor DH had to go back to lying down again!- he says he doesn't feel so great. Maybe the tough hills and the sun.
    I gave him some iced green tea and he's resting some more.

    Mudmucker- you are so lucky to have that experience with your father! How wonderful!

    42 mile loop, 16 mph average moving time. Took us about 3.5 hours because we stopped at a seafood place for lunch. No flat tires though! LOL. Of course not because this time we were prepared.

    aka_kim, melissam, Mel's SIL Johanna, dachshund, Veronica, V's husband Thom, LeeBob and I rode up Mt Diablo today.

    It was a first for Mel, Johanna, and I think for dachshund as well. Congratulations ladies!

    For those of us who made it up to the summit just once*, it was 29 miles and 3420 ft of climbing, according to my computer anyhow.

    We had a fun late lunch afterwards at Fuzio's in Dublin. Since my bad influence was there, I had two beers. Two and a half if anyone was keeping track. A fun day with great people.

    * A certain sandbagging overachiever went and did the last 100 yard 17% grade climb to the summit twice. Skinny little brat.

    FINALLY back on the bike today for a 60+ mile ride. It felt AWESOME to be back on my bike, NOT on the trainer!

    Can I just tell yo how much I love my bike? I LOVE MY RUBY (including the Jett saddle)!!!

    The Utah Lake Century Epic Ride. 111 miles around Utah Lake. Hot, and with a little bit of an unfavorable wind at times, but it was still a fabulous ride. I rode about 95% of it alone, which is how I prefer to ride, so I shall be feeling the effects of this one tomorrow.

    My new Assos shorts were fantastico!
