Today is a perfect day for riding. Clear blue skies, not too hot or too cold, and no winds. I felt like I was on top of Texas, probably literally with the elevation heights we climbed.
The first 7 miles were a little slow as R was getting his cycling legs back. Grant and I scared R off to do a flatter thirty mile route while we attempted hills and 40 miles. R did GREAT and rode 33 miles. He is getting to be strong rider.
We rode up on some cycling friends from USAA. It was like a small reunion there on the rode. We all made promises of riding together at LBJ, in two weeks, if the weather holds up. I am so lucky to have great riding companions to keep me on the straight and narrow rode when I am in training mode.
It was total and complete bliss being out in the open air. I am happy, carefree, and feel like my whole life has fallen in place. I am living the life I have always wanted and all my dreams are coming true.
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI like your comment about riding the LBJ. I guarantee we will have good weather! Stop by the microphone to say "hello".
