Beautiful ride
Our ride today was closer to 34 miles, which was OK by me as I was granny gearing uphill the last couple miles, being passed by men twice my age.
The ride was amazing. At one point, David said "Kentucky or Washington" and you really couldn't tell which state we were in. We were in the rolling hills outside Renton, with lots of large estates, small lakes, and horse farms. It was really quite astounding to see this so near Seattle.
On the ride were David Nestvold, Eric Gabrielson, Andy, Chris, and David's sister Karen. Andy and Chris were just along for the ride, but the rest of us were training for the JDRF ride through Death Valley. I have to mention though, that David and Eric could do that ride in their sleep.
Small problems: sore left knee, (left side), foot cramp, butt sore, neck sore. Not really too bad though and now I feel great. At the time, I wanted the ride to end right around 30 miles or so but now I feel like I could've gone further.
David said we should be riding 80 miles per week now, which I am not even near. Perhaps if I plan well enough, I'll ride to and from work!

Man, this blog sucks... just kidding. I just got a bike last weekend. Though I did it for a more practical purpose, to save money on postage by handing out flyers myself... My initial ride up the hill by our house was 10 minutes and pretty much cashed out my legs... I haven't ridden a bike since high school! -g$
