Looks like no one has started a thread for today.

Our MS training ride was cancelled on friday due to a threatening tropical storm in the Gulf, but the storm turned north early and missed us. I'm on an email list from one of the MS organizers, so she put together Plan B - a levee ride this morning.

There were a couple of groups - about 15 each, and the group I was in headed down river to the path end there, turned to do the entire 20 mile length to the other end heading up river. (The other group headed upriver first.) It was a terrific ride! Some faster riders stayed in front to pull - going "slow" for them, keeping us at 18-20 mph. Was fun to be on the train that passed other riders for a change. Riding solo I can't keep that pace. Up and back in a little over 2 hours, average speed 18.3 mph according to my computer, 44 miles. We even kept a pretty good pace coming back into the wind.

The only bummer was the humidity. That tropical storm is supposed to bring rain this afternoon. Otherwise it was great. Lungs cooperated. I'm a happy cyclist.
