I will start with my lovely 20 mile ride this morning in the wind-swept corn fields. I saw a large number of cyclists no matter where I went - which is rather unusual. I am accustomed to seeing some out there, but this was different. It was nice to see everyone taking advantage of the lovely warm weather

I had planned on 30-35 miles, but I had a little mishap before I got going. Had a little clipless fall and got caught up in my saddle...my girly bits were in agony I suspect there is some bruising, and I probably shouldn't have ridden but I wasn't about to NOT ride after all of that I just rode until my soft bits started telling me they were ready for a break - which turned out to be 20 miles.

The ride was awesome, and my average speed was higher than it has ever been - 13.4 mph! This is my personal best so I am happy. Considering my riding position I will never win any races.

All I can say is I am very thankful I had my PI elite bib-shorts on, not the Terry shorts with the thinner chamois...
