Way to go MojoGrrl! I guess the answer to hills is practice! You are giving me inspiration!
First longish ride for yesterday after cracking my ribs 6 weeks ago - 20 miles, with some walking up hills involved. It was also my 2nd time in traffic (since some eye stuff over the last few years). I wasn't afraid this time. Yay! So glad I was able to ride in the Tour de Pink, but I need to get after the inclines...it was sad! But I know I can improve. Keep on peddling!

It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)

For those of you who do a lot of riding around town - I find that a pretty notable accomplishment! I do most of my riding out on country roads where traffic can get kind of scary because they're going fast, but I HATE riding in the city - city traffic and pedestrians make me very nervous. They're unpredictable but at the same time, predictably stupid and unsafe.

More of an annual achievement than a weekly achievement but today I crossed over 1,000 miles for this outdoor bike riding season! Many riders here are able to triple and quadruple that figure easily. For just over 27 weeks in this season from April to October it's a biggie for me.
Tomorrow I do my second ever chairty ride in the Tour de Livingston. Excited for it!
I don't ride far and I don't ride fast but I do ride often.

Last week we were on vacation, and took quite a bit of time to ride. I broke my personal longest ride (21.5 miles)...twice!!!! Did a 22.7 mile ride on Monday, a 21.9 mile ride on Friday and a 13.1 mile ride on Sunday. I've never ridden that far in a week, ever!
I'm still battling saddle soreness, but each ride it gets better.
