May 16th Rides

Lisa, was that the "lovely" 7 mile climb that we did leaving your town last summer?

Nope, it was a shorter but steeper series of hills today.

I know you'll never let me hear the end of that 7 mile climb thing. But wasn't the scenery lovely though? ;D
That was the route we always used to take to get to GB though. The irony is that after your ride here, Brian and I tried out doing the whole 50 mile loop in the opposite direction from usual...and discovered it was substantially easier! I guess the climbs were way more spread out and thus less noticeable.
Good to know next time you come here!

I'm just kidding you... I won't keep bringing it up. I think part of my pain was the fact that there was so little shade and it was pretty hot that day.
I am too lazy to go to the store. It will have to wait.

I know, I'm teasing you too. As I remember it was AWFULLY hot that day!
And there I was just riding in 1/2 mile from home to meet you guys at the cafe, while you all were riding 50 miles that day!

66 miles on the tandem today. ow ow ow ow.
Gorgeous weather, in the 60's all day long with actual sunshine!

I still don't have my saddle set where i need it so I'm not a totally happy camper. sore neck, sore butt, sore arms. part of what causes it i think is the stress of not being in control. (fraid so)

we went around lake Washington, a rather circuitous route with about 6 other nice people.
happy to be home, ready for a nice LONG bath.

Wow Mimi, that's a long ride. I'd be sore too!
You earned your long hot bath.

I forgot my camera, so you'll have to make do with cell phone pics

a "vino" ride





Not much to report on the ride, only except I'm getting better on the 'bent. And I "only" did 59 miles!

Very short ride today - three reps up and back the stretch of hill I've been practising on lately. Managed to stand in the pedals for longer than previously and pretty sure that on the last rep I had two gears to spare, so happy with that. Then went to the gym and did weights
