Small Victories

[hibiscus09]

1) Managed to coast one-handed and find/drink-from/return my water bottle without crashing! .... twice!
(of course it was on a deserted path and I was only going maybe 10 mph, but still)

I can relate to that statement! It still kind of creeps me out to do this! I love a camelbak so I don't have to worry about such, but it does feel silly using those for hour rides so I keep braving it out and reaching for the bottle on my shorter rides.

Congrats on the 30+ mile ride!!! It's fun to pass those milestones. When I got to where I could do those, I found out about the MS150 rides last year and trained for one of those! It was so much fun. I'm getting ready to begin my training for this year's in June and then the actual ride is in September. I'm sure you have one in your area -- you should check it out at the National MS Society's website!

I had a bug fly into my mouth, hit the back of my throat and go down and then realized what happened -- it happened so fast. LOL
