I enjoyed two relatively spring like days of riding. On Saturday I went for an 80k (50 mile) ride. Had my first flat tire ever. My riding partner helped me change it. I really need to figure that out. Unfortunately, I am not very mechanically inclined, but I think next time I will be able to do it on my own. The 50 miles was my longest ride ever. I started the day with sore quads, as I had done a lot of isolations, squats and lunges at a circuit class on Thursday. My legs were fine during the ride, I just didn't have a lot of zip.

DH and I went on Sunday for a lovely 20 mile ride. The sun was shining, the kids had spent the night at grandma's and all was right with the world! I thought that I would be hurting from the previous day's ride, but I felt fine. DH was even impressed with how quickly I made it up the two hills we did. My new specialized Amira and my stronger legs are almost making hills something I look forward to.

I am doing a metric century on April 3rd, and am beginning to feel less anxious and more confident that I will finish.
