July 20 rides!

35 minutes of single track after work - not long, but very intense! It was 88 degrees and very humid, so I was soaked after I got done. Fun fun fun!

Made plans to go riding, then the rain started, but luckily it quit right before we were planning to leave so off we went.

Original plan was to ride the trail and back, weather held so we kept going. Made it up my measuring stick hill at the fastest pace to date

weather was a chilly 64 (we ARE trying to send it down to everyone so broke out the long sleeves

the wheat fields are starting to turn - just hope the rain came in time last week that the heads filled, sunflowers are starting to head out, canola doesn't look too stressed, so maybe it won't be a drought disaster around here after all.

Met up with Yellow for a 10k time trial. Boy, that was HARD! Totally flat coarse, 95 degree weather, and a tiny, slight headwind on the way back.
I'm tellin' ya, Yellow sure can ride fast!!

Edited to say that DH just told me I had a brake rubbing the whole time trial! Grr! At least I know I can do better next time. Note to self: check your brakes pre-race!

I rode three times today with stops for different things. I rode to acupuncture. Then I rode to visit a friend. And then back home again for a total of 60 miles at 15 mph average. Not too bad. Got into a dog fight with a young guy who blew past me. I caught him and blew past him and stayed just enough ahead that he couldn't get on my wheel. I swear I had a testosterone surge. I am not sure what the heck got into me!
