April 8th rides

I had a great ride last night. There was about 20 of us and we started off and a nice even pace. I had my best ride ever. 19.6 miles with a 17 mpg avg. I was very happy with myself. I was dropped on the last 10 miles of the trip by the first group but was soon picked up by the slower group and came into the parking lot with them. Hubby was able to join us and I think that I shocked him! It has been so long since we were out on a group ride together so this was the first time that he saw me keep a really fast pace. We celebrated with a pizza and beer (I had a coke!) It was an awesome night. I am looking forward to my Saturday group ride. More miles and more people.

SheFly, I usually get up at 5 or 5:30, but that is different than riding at that time. I had to remind myself that until 2 years ago, I exercised at this time all of the time... I taught a *5AM* aerobics class for 4 years and a 6 AM one for a couple of years. I truly don't know how i did this.
When I commuted from Concord to Hudson, I left at 5:45, mostly so I could be at school by 6:45 and get myself cleaned up before anyone saw me (except my boss who always drove by me when I was riding and would be awaiting my arrival like 20 minutes later!).
