let's just keep going

Cannot believe I rode 20 miles Saturday. Still surprised by it. My thought when we signed up for this ride/race in June was - maybe I can do 20? Can't believe I actually did that the 7th ride out. So crazy! Who knows what June is going to bring? Can't wait to find out.

So we met at Panera to do the ride we had mapped out - we ended up at Four Season's but instead of going the rest of our route - Shannon suggests going to see the finish of the half-marathon - we were all feeling pretty good - so we went for it. It was very inspiring to watch (awesome job John Coombe) - and as I usually do when I watch that type of thing - I feel inspired to do something more, and also how great they must feel in accomplishing that. Can't wait till we meet our goal in June - can only imagine how it's going to feel.

And yes, we did end up carrying our bikes over some tracks once we hit a dead end on fourth street (we are, after all, rock stars) but the real story was making it up the ultimate (so far) hill on the Stanton over-pass. Which, yes - we made it! Ray had some special instructions pre-hill, something about three of us, hill and Trudy's bike (which was awesome by the way and she was supersonic on it) but I never caught exactly what he was saying - so just put my head down and went. Thank you to Shannon for being my cheerleader when I almost wanted to give up on the hill!
