That was a really great ride!! Fantastic scenery, great company, perfect weather and a nice "step up" for me on my ride ability. My legs are a little tired today! As always, you TE gals (and your gentlemen!) were truly supportive and helpful.

Tricks I learned yesterday:
1) from aka_kim - how to prop a bike up on a curb using the pedal
2) from Leebob - when standing up a hill, point toes down and let your weight "drop" your leg down rather than pushing - that really helped! (Leebob's my new hill coach! He really stuck with me on those early "little climbs" on that "flat ride"!)

AG - Thanks again for getting us all out there (and safely back again!), and it's great to have faces to put to BikeMomma and SlinkeDog' posts now!

On hwy 156 heading east to 101 the temp went from 66-96 in 20 minutes!

Hey - since I was "flying without instruments" yesterday, anyone care to toss out some ride data? I know it was 46-point-something miles, but I have no idea of how long we were riding... I know any of your average speeds will be higher than mine was, but I'd love to have a ballpark idea... TIA.
