Today was a 20 mile group ride. I and another gal got dropped pretty early on (we were the only females), but we went on ahead and rode anyway. The honeysuckle is in bloom and smells heavenly. We averaged only 14 mph, mostly because we had never ridden together before this and we kept slowing down for each other! About halfway through our ride, I decided to speed up a little, then she sped up, then I sped up.....FINALLY we were biking like we should!

The hills were a lot easier than they were last year. I used to ride up them 4-5 mph, today we rode up them 9-10 mph! Those indoor cycling classes are paying off!

Tomorrow's ride is a portion of the Katy Trail with my family. I have my oldest son to "convert" into a bike lover
