July 9-10 rides

I did the lbs slow ride again today. We averaged just over 18 mph for 30 miles.

18 mph over 30 miles is your SLOW ride? Yikes.

we rode from our house to the bike shop (to get my new brakes adjusted properly) and then to Alki beach and then back home. It was a mob scene at the beach. There was a pole vaulting competition, both men's and women's, i'd never seen this in person. They were AWESOME.
lots of people who are already tanned, walking, biking, rollerskating, you name it, up and down the waterfront. A perfect day.
22 miles .. in 5 hours. :-) I'm not as fast as Red Rhodie on my fast days and today was DEFINITELY not one of them

Not my slow ride, the lbs slow ride. I hear their Sunday ride will kill you.

Thinking about it, I'm going to back off that 18 mph claim. I got the speed info from one of the guys on the ride, but I forgot he had to backtrack to pick up a tubular that someone dropped. He did have to catch back up, and the rest of us slowed down for him. His speed was therefore faster than mine.

I need to remind myself why I don't have a computer.

I agree! Holy cow!

It was a great day at our house. No races, no group rides, nothing planned! DH and I got a 1700 yd swim in at the pool, had lunch and a short rest break watching the tour, then went on a 40 mile ride by ourselves. We came home and grilled out and had a couple beers. It's been a long time since we had a day like this and it was very, very nice.
