BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN

OR.......

A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS

Thanks to Brian lending me an extra bike he has and Beth dragging my butt out on a HARD RIDE... I'm BACK!!!!!

Today I rode (thanks to Beth's encouragement) 44 miles, climbed 3500 feet, my butt was in the saddle for 3 hours and 12 minutes and my average speed was 13 miles per hour......

WOOOO HOOOOOOOO. Who would have THUNK??? NOT me.. 

As soon as we started the 3.3 mile ride up Old La Honda I thought to myself... "no way" I CANT do this..... I NEED a GRANNY GEAR!!!! Beth said, "I did ALLLLL of the Death Ride on a bike with only 28 gears" 

ARRRGGGGG....... If she can do the DEATH RIDE PERIOD what the heck is she doing out here with me.. HELPING me get back into shape?????

I FORGOT how GREAT food tastes when I have REALLLY earned it.. When I am REALLLY hungary.......

This is just the beginning... I will have to keep it up, do more if I have any hope of doing 100 miles along Hwy 1 in August....

GOTTA GET UP AND TRY and Try and try and try........

THATS WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR.......

THANK YOU DEAR FRIENDS
