We had a great ride today!  As we were catching our tailwind and pedalling 26 mph, we came upon a couple of bikers one of whom gave us several shout outs of encouragement as we passed.  It was fun, encouraging, and gave us that little extra something that carried on throughout our 20 mile ride.  So thanks, Carol, for your [...]

Shel and I rode 11.3 miles today with a 23 mph headwind on the way home.  Took us 50 mins, max spd: 23.3 mph, ave. spd: 13.6, 85 degrees.  The George Bush Park trail is still underwater on the stretch behind the shooting range.  In fact, right after the “bridge out 1 mile” sign.  We couldn’t [...]

Rainy day = reflection, not ride.

I was thinking about my first adventure race that included a biking portion, and where I learned that “real” riders don’t have kickstands!
