Anyone ride today (June 11)?

I rode to and from the Rocky Mountain Bicycle Festival.

First time on a bike since messing up my calf two weeks ago. Riding finally doesn't hurt, and feels much better than walking.

I rode to a coffee place that was open this evening (still daylight); took side roads and MUP to get there. Served nice Stumptown Roasters coffee (had a cappuccino) in a real ceramic mug. I think there and back was about 10 miles or so.

I planned on doing a ride but, took my car in for tires and ended up fixing a few more things and spending way more money than expected. I waited all day to to pick it up and the day was shot. I will ride Sunday.

I rode the 62 mile route of the Superman Bike Ride in Metropolis, Illinois yesterday. This is an annual ride the Kiwanis sponsor during the Superman celebration with 10, 35 and 62 mile routes along the Ohio River. It's a great ride that we try to do every year. It actually cooled off a little yesterday from the mid-ninety degree heat wave we've been having and was enjoyable.

I did a fast 40 mile ride with my students. I'm glad I rode with them because after a season of racing, they worked me hard! Subtracting stops, our average speed was about 16 mph (my 50 mile ride last week was an avg speed of 12 mph-- leisurely to say the least). The ride was funny though-- I didn't feel well the night before so I skipped dinner and then I ate breakfast just an hour before takeoff. It was like I was bonking before I'd even gotten started! No amount of oxygen could move me the speed I wanted to go. Once breakfast hit though, I was fine and I finished the ride feeling spectacular. I hung in with the kids til the end!

I thought I might ride another forty this morning, but my legs want more rest. Listening to the body! I bought well-go platforms for my mountain bike so James, the bf can ride with me in the park. He hasn't been on a bike since he was a kid!
