Anyone ride today (June 11)?

Sat. I just did the usual hour-long market ride with DH. Today I did 32 miles at an easy pace. Had planned on 55+, but DH was having back spasms so only managed 14 miles before calling it quits, and although I enjoyed my ride, it was hot and sunny, we got a late start due to his back, so I just didn't have it in me to go much farther solo. Had a poor night of sleep also, so just didn't feel like pushing it...just one of those days, I guess!

Weather this morning was sketchy to start, but once we got going, the sun came out and was quite pleasant! I started out by meeting up with Owlie for a planned 20 mile ride. She had a flat at home and overcast skies almost made us bail.

Glad we didn't!!! I hadn't been riding much lately due to weather and work, so I warned Owlie I'd be slow. About 5-6 miles I she dropped me as I struggled to stay on her wheel... Plus my saddle was just killing me (new saddle/butt needs time in the saddle.) Sooooo .. Don't let her kid ya about the sails ..

I turned around to get in 15 miles and let her go forward to get the full 20, figuring she'd catch my slow-poke butt on the way back, but I must have liked playing the chase rabbit as she didn't catch me!

You'll probably smoke me once you get that saddle sorted out, though.

my ride on the 11th was same as the 12th. I biked down to my not-so-local bike shop to get some work done, then picked up my bike Sunday. Special thanks to my LBS for being so fast when I told them how important it was to get it Sunday! The weekend is the only time I can pickup, and I couldn't stand the thought of taking the bus to work for a week.

I was so proud of myself I even made a map to post to my bolg : /

As of today, I've only had my bike for a month. I know it's not an impressive ride for some....but it is for me.

Woke up this morning feeling achy all over and cold chills.. running a slight temp. Oy. I didn't really feel sick yesterday!

DP and I did the MS-150 ride this weekend from Proctor (near Duluth) to White Bear Lake, MN. A bit of a headwind yesterday but I really, really cannot complain about conditions this year. Cool, partly cloudy and no rain all weekend - best MS-150 weather in years!

My ride on the 11th was the epitome of a "fun ride". I rode a couple "tall bikes" at the monthly Second Saturday art festival in Sacramento. These are homemade by one of my YouTube subscribers. I handed him my camera so he could record me getting on and riding these bikes. Check it out:

Yesterday was back to my other version of fun: 44.63 miles, 3,707 feet of climbing, and lots of heavy breathing! Read the rest of the ride report here:

Feel better!

By the way, your ride yesterday was 18--not 15--miles! I rode up to that point today and turned around...

I didn't ride on Sat. or Sunday... I rode 25 miles on Friday, then we went to the Cape, where it was either raining or so incredibly windy and cold, our bikes stayed in the car while we ate and drank wine. Then I came home and forced myself to get on the treadmill for 30 minutes.
Today I rode my hybrid to the opening of the farmer's market. I am not feeling that zippy today, with allergies and possibly my asthma still acting up, but I did the 17.1 miles round trip, all to buy strawberries and some rolls. Not as many booths this year, but maybe more will come.
Unless the market stays open until 6 or 7, I won't be going again...
