Weekend Rides - 9/17-18

I did the Harbor to the Bay AIDS charity ride yesterday. It is a 125 mile ride. The weather was lovely, although a tad cool for me. I started out exhausted because I have been at the hospital with my daughter who had a hand injury and hand surgery. I didn't get to bed until around 11PM on Friday night and was up at 3:40 AM. The good news is that I finished, although it was not too pretty at the end. It is for a great cause and it is a well supported ride. Thanks too to Deb W who did tech for us. I appreciate her encouragement as a rider and friend!

@Catrin, I like the touring bike just fine. It's perfect for the trail. My IT band may fuss about the q factor a bit but I'll live. It's a nice bike for the money. She's filthy right now with 30 miles of limestone sludge.

My daughter and I just did 12 miles on the Bronx River Parkway in Westchester. They close the parkway on Sundays from 10-2 for walkers and bikers. This is my first "real" ride and it was a lot of fun. There is one more weekend of "bike sundays" on the parkway so want to make sure we take advantage of it.

42 miles. Middle sister ride - cycle the wave. Cool, wet, but not too rainy... until the end.

LOTS of hills, we were either going up or down.
