Did an early morning 40 miles. More hill work--up and down a 4 mile, 8 percent grade hill. Was a bit worried on the descent about another tube going "BOOM!", but it didn't happen (whew). Stopped by lbs to have them check out new wheelset for problems--everything looked good.
On the way home, the coach instructed one of the guy riders to "push her pace" (that would be MY pace). We pushed 28 mph on the flats, and everything felt good. I figure it was because he was such a good draft!

Did 53 km this morning. Really enjoying riding earlier in the day before it gets too hot out. Didn't fall off the bike today, but then I was too chicken to clip in to the pedals... I've ridden 165 km in the past 4 days so I'm going to take tomorrow off and play 9 holes of golf instead. Might take the mountain bike out tomorrow evening and ride along the creek for a recovery ride.

Sounds like you will handily kick my butt on Thursday. Looking forward to it!

my evening commute was very hot and muggy, so I just coasted along. A storm picked up about 15 minutes from home, but I got cooled off. 28 miles for the day.

DH got called to sub on a bowling league, so I took off solo tonight. There was not really any wind but it was about 95 degrees at 6:45. I still managed to average 17.5 mph for 21.48 miles of rolling hills!

I did a really short ride with some friends after running. not sure how far we went, but we were only out there for 30min. I was pleasantly surprised when one of them who has a bike computer said we were going about 18-19mph most of the time. Didn't know I could go that fast when it didn't involve a downhill run
