Hi, SadieKate . . . I've been hesitant to write, but I really appreciate your asking me, so I will report, although it's not the greatest report, but at least I finished my 35-miler.

Anyway, I rode my steel hybrid and everyone in the world passed me, plus I had to walk up a few hills, but that was okay. I loved the ride, the scenery, the animals along the way (even stopped at Honkey's Donkeys), and fed some grass to a few mama horses with their little foals. However, when I arrived at the Wells Fargo Center, I couldn't find the parking lot where my hubby was parked, so I took a shortcut on a dirt path covered with hay in order to get to two guys so that I could ask them the whereabouts of the main parking lot. It was at this time that my wheel got caught in a 5-inch-deep rut, and I took a hard fall. I either cracked or bruised some ribs, but am doing fine and am raring to go biking again. Nothing that a few Advil and Vicodin couldn't handle.

It took me 5 hours to complete 35 miles, but I had a grand time.

Thank you so much for asking.
