    I did the Pedaler's jamboree this weekend. 35 miles on Saturday to Boonville and 35 on Sunday back to Columbia, all on the Katy Trail. I took a friend whose longest ride to date has been 20 miles. She did it on my $18 flea market Giant hybrid. It was a fun couple of days. Every 10 miles they had a band and cold beer available. Took us a long time to get to Boonville. More like a 35 mile party. Everyone was really friendly and we had a great time.

    The ride leader stated it was like I did a 50 mile ride because I was riding a hybrid.

    Mentaly it makes me feel good I did it....and I am sure I will feel better tomorrow.

    You bet it's more impressive on a hybrid. Keep up the good work.

    Anniversary mountain biking with DH. We went out to the area we went to college and road a trail there so we could have our yummy favorite deli for anniversary dinner. It was pretty eventful once we got caught on the trail in a massive downpour (complete with thunder) but we made it out okay and had a good laugh at the memorable anniversary ride. Still got about 10 miles of singletrack in before it poured.

    Let's see.. so much going on..

    TXRED: CONGRATULATIONS! I hope you are feeling better today and not too swollen!

    IRULAN: CONGRATULATIONS... how nice to get out on the rides you helped to create. That is wonderful!

    AGGIE ANN: Happy Anniversary!

    OK.. think I got it all. I just rode a basic 16 miles today with a friend who brought his 3 yr old in a trailer. Slow easy ride for me - -I should have done more, but what a gorgeous day to out in the Pacific NW! We stopped halfway (ha ha... 8 miles and a stop! ) and got coffee and a treat. potty break. What an easy, nice ride through the flats of Skagit County. Wish I'd brought my camera -- nice day for photos. Mt Baker was out plain as day and the valley was gorgeous!

    I am actually going to brave my normal 17 mile tuesday ride. Everything feels fine but um.... those parts! I will definatly use some appropriate form of lubricant/anit-chaffing stuff today. I have some and have used it before. I just forgot it Sunday.... never again!

    I miss those beautiful NW rides but I sure do not miss the COLD!
