Pam, I'm so glad to hear you and the toddler are okay. What a scary, scary experirence!

After reading all the speed everyone else can do, I'm not going to post my speed for yesterday (it's dismal, but it'll improve, I hope). You guys are awsome! I'm definately a slug. LOL. But I did 42 miles yesterday (a loop and a half of the Interurban trail from Kent to Tukwila) No hills, but I was going for distance. I still plan to do STP, (two days) but I'm realizing that there won't be any speed records broken for sure (LOL). It'll be a good experience, I"m sure. I understand there are riders of every level going, so I won't feel too embarrased.

I have officially deemed myself the turtle! I do the best I can and if thats not good enough.... drop me... I will find my way home!!! Each tryumph is our own



Pam I am glad you didn't hit the kiddo and not badly hurt. I went on two group rides (sat & sun) about 20 miles each.I almost bit it hard today.....it might have been an ambulence pick up if I hadn't been saved somehow..... I somehow got off balance (my ears have been bothering me for 4-5 days as well as allergies). I was going on a couple of rollers so got up to over30 mph on my hybrid before hitting a steep hill.....well I made it 3/4 of the way still doing at least 20mph when I started to loose it.....thankfully I got my feet out of the clips....caught myself....did some funny looking.....breath holding hops....and got myself stopped. I walked up the rest of the hill.....and finished the last 15 or so miles!

We did a moderate 25 mile loop. My goal today was to get through all the hills while keeping my heart rate down. We rode hard yesterday and I wanted today to be a recovery ride. I managed to have an average heart rate of 143, which is great for me.
