DH and I met the shop crew for a jaunt through Rock Creek Park today. About 20 of us showed up (including Pfunk12), and there were lots of laughs, hugs, high-5's, best wishes for the new year, and even pictures taken before the start of the ride. What a fun group.
The pace was casual and conversational. But the roads were wet and I ended up flatting near the end of the ride. DH fixed it for me (yay!), but he missed the stone that caused the flat. So about 1/2 mile (1 km) up the road, I flatted again. This time, I just pulled over and let DH ride the 2 miles (5 km) or so up the road to the car, and he came back to pick me up with it. Lots of tire surgery after we cleaned the bikes at home.
A bit over 20 miles. Almost 1/4 of what I did the entire month of December!
