    First ride on the LHT today...only 20 minutes b/c that's all I had time for between work and another commitment, but better than not getting out at all. This bike is going to be a lot of fun, but the stock saddle is not going to work for me so I will be swapping that out. Tomorrow's weather looks yucky so I will probably just go to the gym instead of riding...hopefully there will be a nice day soon where I have some time!

    and on Thursday.

    I had to ride by the Liberty Bowl, UofM's stadium:

    And I went by the Pink Palace. Mr. Saunders founded Piggly Wiggly:

    Jolt- I don't know if my LHT had the stock saddle or not- a plain white one- but it was awful! I replaced it with my pretty old and nearly falling apart Jett, but need to figure out what I will use on permanently. Hope you find a good one.

    No ride for me today- I played a dance in Phoenix last night, got home at 1 am and today's weather forecast was wind, wind, wind (up to 40 mph gusts). Good day to take a break and I'll pedal tomorrow.

    I took today off work because the AC would be down (go figure it's a temperature that's comfortable without AC), and didn't ride because of the wind. Just as well. It's raining.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    not a good way to start a ride. Thankfully, it was a false alarm:

    Still in Memphis:

    Getting ready for a pigout:

    did 40 miles - a season's best for me.

    The Prairie Spirit Trail, which we rode yesterday -- VERY nice! Definitely a hidden gem...if you are ever in Kansas:

    The BF got a new bike and we decided to take it out RIGHT away. It rained a little but then got beautiful. We had some AWFUL winds but we didn't let that keep us down. We logged 44 miles total, had some beer, and had a lot of fun. Here's my BF and his new Scott Team Cross bike. We got it for a song $1000.00 at the LBS! He loves it.Click image for larger version.
