Well, there is nothing quite like a ride on the road, 2 lane road, 45 MPH speed limit with a left turn lane in the middle, one that has tractor trailers, delivery trucks, and crazy people driving on it to inspire you to pedal faster. I rode about 15.5 miles today, first almost 9 miles were 16-18 MPH steady. When I turned around I was pretty tired and averaged 12-14 mph (mostly sidewalks) back. I think that when a large tractor trailer passes less than 3 feet to your left, it'll scare you into going faster than you think you can go!
So while the distance was less than I had hoped for, it was in barely over an hour! So I'll take that. :) add some work out on the ball and I'm golden for the day.

awesome ride dude.
we still need to get out to Hines. Maybe next weekend?
Sounds like you got a great workout! Those trucks will certainly get you moving.:) I envy you getting out there biking as often as you do. It doesn't seem like I can get my butt out of bed so early to do that. Still trying though. Keep up the great work girl. You're doing awesome!
