I rode the bike leg as a triathlon relay on Sunday. It was cold and rainy and I was riding a rented bike as I've still not found the right bike to replace the one I crashed. This one had the front brakes rubbing the whole time. The whole, hilly, time. UGH. But I powered through and I survived the hills, thanks a lot to the fans out on the course. And our medals are cool looking and ultimately it's about the fun medals.
Overall, good time, but I'm tired and sore and I just started to warm up. Now, time to figure out what bike I want to buy. UGH, who knew this would be so difficult.
You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!

I did a lovely fall mtb ride. "Bead Lake". 11 miles up a very mellow forest road to the trail head, then 6 miles of single track that alternated between lakeside cliffs and dark groves of giant cedar trees. Fun times.

I did an easy 26 mile ride from our house. I had zero energy, so my wonderful husband pulled the whole way. When I went through periods of "i don't want to be doing this" as I am wont to do when I'm out of shape, I reminded myself that a month from now, I'll be wishing for weather as nice as we had yesterday!
It was great to be out, to enjoy the warm sun on my back, and to get some fresh air.

Irulan, I envy that countryside!
Rode 40 slow miles with a friend who is having knee problems. Did a really fast 42 miler today. Felt great. Wish I could do the 60+ miles but my neck just won't let me right now. Maybe someday...To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

I did the Bicycling Fall Classic. Got the ride with Bicycling's editors, Ted King and Bike Snob. It was great and best of all, I placed 3rd on the timed climbs for women!

Felt a little under the weather this weekend but I went out for a 12 mile ride to get some sunshine. In addition to the sunshine, I also got my first punctured tire. :P
Here are pictures, mainly because I wanted to take pictures of my bike. Guilty as charged.
