Good morning! It is gorgeous this morning. It looks like it is going to be a perfect day for a ride. I'm drinking down my coffee and eating breakfast and then I will be off for Marymoor. I'll call you when I arrive Jessica!

It was a great ride today Sue! Thanks for sticking with me and motivating me to complete my goal of doing the century! I'm so glad I did it.

It was a great ride Jessica! Thanks for riding with me too! I really enjoyed your company! You are definitely ready for the STP! After all those hills the rolling/flat ride of the STP will be a cinch! I'm glad I finally got my century in too. This weekend's CATS ride (73 miles) will be breeze after riding the 100 mile Flying Wheels Summer Century!
Now I just need to get out after work this week and do some 20 milers. It looks like our weather pattern is improving. So happy about this good news.

Aww I wish I could come this weekend for the CATS ride... it would be nice to do a long distance ride with the group that felt easy, haha! I'm planning on doing a 22 mile flat ride at a slow pace today to recover (hopefully I'll actually make it out there). Maybe I will also ride tomorrow, something a little harder than today's ride but still easy, like the S. Lake Wa loop or something.

Did you get your 22 mile flat ride in yesterday Jessica? I did an easy flat 15 miles yesterday and my legs felt great. Today after work I plan to do an easy out and back about a 30 mile ride. Slight up hill grade on the way out (about 2% - 3%) coming back is always a bit faster!
Yea, wish you could make this Saturday's CATS ride too. 73 miles should be fun.
My legs are feeling stronger and stronger. I think I will be ready for my big rides this summer. Such a great feeling!

I did get out for the 22 miler yesterday. It was okay. My back is still sore, so that was kind of painful. I think I'll take today off from riding and just relax. I might do a 32 mile ride on Thursday with my friend though, it would be at a slower pace than usual though. How are your feet doing, I know they were bothering you on the ride?

Sorry to hear your back is sore Jessica. You should try Hot Yoga. It really makes all my aches and pains vanish. It's amazing. My gym offers the classes and my daughter and I usually go once a week (sometimes twice). You can really get some good stretches in when your muscles are so warm from the 105 degree temperature in the sauna where the yoga classes take place.
Here's a link to a description of the class at my gym's web site:

Well I did a 29 mile ride today after work. I think I'll rest Tuesday and Wednesday and try and ride again Thursday. My foot didn't hurt on today's ride but it really was painful the last 20 miles on Saturday's century ride. The little massage I gave it at the last rest stop helped. I don't know what's up with my right foot. Ever since I had surgery on it in 2005 it's just been acting up.
