Hey Melody... I'm actually not going to ride. I'm taking my daughter to the mall to shop for her 8th grade graduation dress. Mom/daughter bonding time.

I saw in another thread that you're still nursing that groin muscle. If you want to ride an easier ride that Diablo (!!) I'm going out this afternoon to do some rollers and short hills. I'm leaving for church right now, but let me know if you want to come via private message and I can call you. I'll probably go around 3:00 or so.

Slinke, thanks for the offer, but we're being lazy today. :P We went to listen to my step-daughter's vocal performance at a dance competition last night and didn't get home till nearly 2. So, we're pretty tired today.

So, it's clean up house, bikes, etc. day :P

Hope you two had fun!

Thanks Mel! We did have a good time, which I wasn't sure about. Shopping for clothes with a 13 year old can be incredibly stressful. We found a cute dress, but didn't get it in hopes of finding something better another time. We'll see.

Well, I hope to ride this Saturday if you're interested. I'd like to try to do 30 miles or so... an out and back to Uvas or Chesbro. Let me know if you want to come.

I will. I noticed yesterday how much constant riding really matters. After last week, I didn't ride monday or tuesday and only did short commute rides wed-fri and didn't ride at all Saturday. The short 8 miles I did on Sunday was exhausting.

I just need to get out and ride more again.
