Labor Day Weekend Rides

[Biciclista]

did a 65 mile ride today, a very warm day; a lot of it was with Susan126. She an incredibly strong rider.

My ride today was 43 miles, not 50, but it was about 80% humidity. Thankfully, it stayed cloudy and around 73 until we got back at around 1:00. We did some challenging hills, ate lunch on the side of the road at the top of the biggest one, and then rode rather quickly back home. I was exhausted, but glad we got out before the temperature went up to 85, with the humidity.
After our ride we went to the LBS, where I picked up my new road shoes and a pair of new mountain shoes and Frogs for the Guru. I got Shimano shoes in both, as my Sidi road shoes are giving me terrible hot spots. I am sad to see my red shoes be relegated to my "second" pair, but it's driving me nuts.
DH is going to put the Frogs on our Kuotas so we get used to them before we get the Gurus.

Today I rode almost the same route I rode yesterday...on the back of a motorcycle.

Ok, that doesn't count, but it was fun.

I just did 18 windy miles. It's so humid. I am my own private rain forest. It was so windy the ride took 7 minutes longer than usual, and I was working! I felt really good, though.

Our planned 40 miles turned into 21 miles. It started raining about 3 minutes after we left the house, so we cut the ride short. However, all was not lost- we stopped at the Italian bakery near our house on the way home
