Cool, Sunny Rides

I'm late to post for last Tuesday's ride (June 28th), but it was a good one. Starting from Ginegaw Park into the many hills of Marion and Williamson. This was the most challenging evening ride of the year with the craziest hills on Warner Rd. I've done them before, but forgot how tremendous they are. Michele, Steve W. and Brian raced up the hills, while Tom and I paced ourselves at a slower rate. I am definitely more comfortable with that. 'Love to race down though! 'Was glad for the cool temps., this ride would be much more challenging in the heat.

We had a different mix of people at the tailgate; some new folks that I met include a very vivacious woman named Margaret, a tall older man named Bill and one of the mom's I met at a Robotics picnic in May, Heather. Did not meet Bill's wife, who was there - maybe next time. Many of the regulars were missing - hope the hilly area did not affect the turnout? I know not everyone likes the hills. I thought I would really feel this ride for the next few days, but I did not.

Road this morning, about 16 miles, felt great! It was only 54 degrees when I left at 7:30am, but with the sun, that was perfect.
