Rides from August 28th!

Nice, cool ride in. School is finally in session, no problems going in, but I pass three elementary schools going home. Here's hoping the midget flood is done by the time I pass through!

Went a 11 miles ride this morning. Was trying to push myself some and get my speed up and try to keep my cadance up and not keep stopping my peddling. I think I did better. I just kept telling myself when I wanted to stop, NOT to.
I rode 12 mph on my MTB with the wind blowing pretty good and several hills. It's a mph better than I did the other day on our 20 mile ride.
There's a storm brewing I hope. It is very cloudy and windy this morning. We haven't had that in a month or more. Keep your fingers crossed for us that we get some rain. I'll give up a day or so of riding for rain at this point.

Rain, glorious rain! Yes we're in a horrid drought and desperatley need it, but I also finally got to experience a pleasant ride with pleasant temps (about 80 and overcast) and finally learned that (just as I suspected) the only thing holding me back on building up some endurance and distance is the heat. I rode 10.5 miles and was annoyed that I happened to be in front of my house when my cell phone rang, because I was going to keep going. I answered it and finally ended up stopping, but that's my fault -- nothing made me go on in the house at that point.

However -- I'm finally on the bike long enough and for far enough to know that the seat at the very least needs adjusting. Ow!

I bounced back and forth about riding or driving to school today given the forecast. However, when it was time to leave I opted for the bike and had a dry ride in to work. It rained on and off all day but after the faculty meeting the skies had partially cleared and I decided to get in about 20 miles or so. The ride out was great but at the turn around point the skies began to look ugly and I knew I had to hurry to make it back to school so that I could grab my bag and make a mad dash home. I made it back to school dashed in grabbed my bag, make a quick stop in the office to report a phone issue in my classroom and darted out the door. Unfortunately, I made it a mile up the road and the rain started. I was very thankful that I only have a two mile commute and I was half way home when the rain started falling. I made it home, a little wet but felt good about my ride on my Giro.

DDH- Did ya'll get some rain? We got a decent little shower here, enough that I had to go pick up my dad from work. He recently starting riding a motorcycle and isn't comfortable riding in rain yet.

The rain cooled it off to perfect riding conditions, but I am feeling a bit tired from taking care of a sick husband all weekend. Not to mention the arm pain from the shot I got today. *Sigh* I need to join the daily rides soon.

Well Amanda, I guess you got it all. We got a spit or two, thats it. Not enough to even wash all the dust off my car. At least I had a nice ride this morning, even though it was a little windy.
My niece lives in Cedar Park, how cool is that. She works at one of the What-a-burgers there.
