Today I did a club ride, 37 miles. Pretty hot, mid-90s, so we rode as fast as we could and skipped the rest stop to get in before it got too hot. I felt strong, did a long hilly ride yesterday and wasn't sure if it would make me feel loose or tired today, but fortunatly it was loose! Pretty day, sun was shining (almost too much), pretty scenery, and great company. Too many dogs, but no harm done. I made a new friend on the ride today. Isn't it great when you find you are going the same pace as somebody and then really 'click' with them? She had lost 50 lbs and had a really inspirational story to tell. Got me motivated to get back to working on my weight.
