    First ride ever with a group doing proper paceline riding the whole way woohooo! It was awesome

    We did about 40k (25miles) at a pretty steady 25-30 km/h (16-19mph). I had to stop to stretch at one point and was expecting to have to make my own way back but the group just rode on a bit, then turned and picked me up again

    Weather was cold but dry with little wind so we were lucky. Autumn has turned into Winter here and there's a bit of snow in the forecast for the next couple of days.

    Did one of my longest mountain bike rides ever with DH- 3 hours. I was riding like a rockstar too, it was awesome to see great improvement after going to women's clinics and just being persistant. At the end I finally figured out how to hop curbs. I still need to work on it but I haven't been able to do it at all. No crashes but a little exhausted from the 100 degree weather. Is it fall yet???

    I had an adventure yesterday, riding through a full spectrum of weather on my 60 mile, 4000 foot elevation, ride. Started off in a drizzle, then hit some sun and clouds for the first 25 miles of rollers, then climbed a mountain for 5 miles and ended up in heavy fog and mist. Rode along the top of the mountains for 15 (which was way more up than down - and I'll admit to wanting to cry when I saw the last uphill!) and hit more mist, fog, heavy winds (at Windy Hill - guess it was named correctly!), and finally bright sun shine. Finally finished in the sun with a 10 mile down hill that was fun!

    Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

    Cycle! It's Good for the Wattle; it's good for the can!
