April 4 rides

Considering I live in Florida and my first MS Bike ride weekend is coming up in 2 weeks...it is about time I get this done!

81 miles on Sat. Did about 24 of hills (the hard rollers--as hard as it gets in FL) and then long time on the flats. Definitely SLOW. And normally have hit this distance before now most seasons.

Weather was nice....although getting quite warm in the afternoon. Wind was low (it is right before the front is coming) so that was NICE!

Followed it up w/ a 50 miler...again 1/2 of it "them hills". Since my MS Bike ride is Houston to Austin--I have heard there are some "hills" near Austin. Hope I am ready!

Tired today...more sleepy...but body is holding up OK.

[woohoo]

I rode from home to Luss on Saturday along the side of Loch Lomond, about 20miles. Fairly scenic, and my perseverence through the wind and rain was rewarded with about 5 minutes of non-horizontal rain (in which I took these pics) and a stunning rainbow across towards the islands on the Loch.
