New girl, green as the grass

I'm looking forward to my ride today. It's sunny for the first time in a few days, and it'll probably be in the 60's when I get outside. Good day for a ride!

I'm also setting a challenge for myself. The Paint Creek Crawl is coming up on June 6. The round-trip is 20 miles, and I'm going to aim for that. 20 miles may be beyond me right now, but I'll keep upping my mileage on the trail near me and see how far I can get by early June. Then I'll ride half that distance on Crawl day, and come back to the start. I want something specific to train for. (I also want the tee shirt, but that's beside the point. )

The tee shirt is never beside the point!!!!

Sounds like a good goal. Good luck and have fun!

I got a good ride. 5.41 miles, 31:39 minutes, 10.41 mph average speed. (I do love RunKeeper. I feel so . . . official or something.) I do think that a new saddle is probably going to be a good idea.

As I was getting ready to leave, the mail was delivered. Wiggy had ordered us each a Road ID, and they arrived today. He chose a dogtag (the Fixx ID) with the USMC Eagle, Globe and Anchor on the back, and he got me a bright yellow wristband ID. He's a bit of a worrier and usually I tease him about it, but I'm kinda glad he got these.

Semper Fi.

I have two RoadIDs -- one for cycling and one for walking to the gym and around my 'hood.

I finally got the silicone Road ID with the metal clasp. I had the velcro ones for years, and they ruined all of my gloves and made me itch. Then I got the skinny one, which I promptly lost on a hike. This time, I got 2, one in a bigger size, to wear over winter gloves.

ny biker: Wiggy says Semper Fi back. Are you a sister?

[ZoneFive]

Semper fi, Sheila, from Wiggy (and me), and thank you!
