Oh Salsa - beautiful pic!!!

DH and I did a great 55 mile loop up the coast. Boy was it windy!! There are a couple of little downhill hairpins on Hwy 1 that I always have to break for and I was standing to pedal going downhill because the wind in the little canyons was so strong.

I was just really pleased I was able to ride with DH and not keep him waiting as much as usual. I have been doing a pretty intense power base indoor cycling class 2 x a week and it has really made a difference. I feel like I am coming back to my old self after a couple of years of just slacking.

We were riding through a slight uphill with power roller and crummy pavement section, really powering through, and a couple of guys hooked on our tail and when we came out of the forest into the wider road, they came up alongside us and complimented us on how smoothly we rode together and asked if we wanted to all work together on the remainder of the crazy headwind part, for which I was grateful as one of the guys was VERY nice and tall!

Then we rode home, had a quick shower and lunch, and did the whole thing all over again on motorcycles.
