Victory at 10 miles! I love this picture - it was too bright out for us to see how well it turned out!
I don't think that I would have done this on my own. A friend - who I knew way back in 7th and 8th grade, emailed me about the blog and we kept talking about stuff we're going through in life. Somehow it ended up that he and I were going to ride together. LOL - it took us awhile - his bike needed emergency tire surgery and timing was off, but yesterday we did it. And he can ride like the wind! At least compared to me! :)
My average speed is about 9.5 mph when all is said and done - I tend to dawdle when looking for a good picture. Well yesterday our average speed was about 11.5! But we did it! I did tell him that I would be saying mean things about him today - I figured I'd be in pain - but thank goodness I am not. I've got the typical soreness -but nothing special.
He took the bugs for me too on our way out - LOL but he wasn't so kind on the way back! :)~~~
We were both spitting and sputtering. We are going to ride together again - there were three people older than us on the trail that kicked my butt - my friend probably could have gone faster were it not for me.

Woo Hoo! 20 Miles!!! Doesn't it feel good?
I'm a slug too - still averaging a hair over 10 mph, but I'm learning to use my gears better and that's helping. There are a lot of hills around here - that's not helping!
It does feel really good and Shibu was a great help because he kept pushing me. The canal trail has a few light hills - but every other ride I do is hills. It was fantastic having someone with me, kept me moving and not thinking about pictures and stuff.
I'm going camping next weekend. Ladies from church are going to make sure that mom is cared for whether she's here or at the home.
that WAS Shibu?
yes....who is this though? Anonymous????
