Saturday July 17th Rides

[Tri Girl]

Redrhodie- you're a brave, brave soul.
I rode a hot, humid 30 with a friend. We had a great ride, and enjoyed it despite the heat. Good times!

However, I was incredibly saddened to learn upon our return that a group of our friends found a cyclist in the ditch who had been hit and killed by a car sometime either yesterday or today. I was so incredibly saddened by the news. They tried to identify him, because he didn't have any ID on him. I really don't know how someone can do that to another human being and not stop to help. I'm crying right now just thinking of it.

Please wear ID or carry some with you. I can't imagine what his family must be going through trying to find him right now.

Did a nice 30 mi ride that we call our "Coffee Shop" ride. Starts at Starbucks, we make a stop about 45 minutes in at a Caribou, pass another Starbucks after that (we don't stop) and end up back at Starbucks!

I didn't ride today...
took the canoe out for the first time this year and paddled around a larger pond in Littleton, MA. Found a place to wedge in next to the shore that wasn't directly in front of someone's property and took a little swim
Came home, ate lunch and then sat my butt in a chair by our neighborhood pond. Took another swim, out to the dock in the middle of the pond, which for me, is a miracle. Most 6 year olds could swim this far.
My arms will be hurting tomorrow!
Red Rhodie, I can imagine the wind by the shore. It was gusty paddling on a pond. But the humidity is going down and tomorrow will just be 90 degrees and dry . We'll be riding early.

That is so sad, and must have been horrible for your friends.
