June Riding

Now I'm just saying the heck with it and riding in the rain.

"We can whine about the rain. We can swear at it. We can hide from it. Or we can just ride in it as best we can...and be fully alive while we do it." If you can do a long ride through a heavy downpour ending with your body and mind intact, you’re ready for pretty much whatever…. and there’s always the warmth of home and hot chocolate to return to.

…and a bonus is getting to clean the grit out of all the beautiful places on your bike that the rain has made nasty.....my bikes purr when i clean them

I luv riding in the rain…….eta well, it doesn't rain that much here though and few really good storms

Maybe TE could get a group together, someday, and do a foreign tour. Italy?

Geneva to Trieste through the Swiss Alps and Italian Dolomites, from Lake Geneva to the Adriatic Sea….why not a day of base jumping in the Dolomites too….I’m in if you are…. and if KHG ever comes back and sees this thats 5 with her husband and Alex

I don't think it would be easy.
A trip like that would be out for me. I've hiked and driven in the Italian Alps and I know, even with training more, that would kill me. I like hills, but what I did in Spain is enough for me. It would be fun to do a group trip, just not one with climbs that have 15-20% grades and last for miles.
Some of you are a lot younger than me... I am pretty good for an old lady, but I know my limits.
