happy frinesday, hehe! (thanks
jordon for the new word)
tom and i are gearing up for an 80 mile ride oct 1st so every thursday night at 6 for the next month, we will be meeting at one of the local bike shops and going on a group ride to prepare for the long ride. the group ride is 14 miles, with a good amount of rolling hills and a few lead bikers to set the pace. last thursday was my first time doing this ride and it was fantastic! the road is a dead end with ranches on either side so it isn't a well used road which is perfect for us bikers. we did great and it will only get better every time we go.
the best part....letting gilbert FLY! since the way up was mostly hills it meant the way down was mostly down hill. it was the closest i will ever come to actually physically flying. the feeling was incredible and we both felt so fantastic. i am looking forward to this weekly ride now more then ever!
me looking like a hot mess after the ride but grinning from ear to ear!
xo,

I love it! Frinesday will catch on, haha. That sounds so fun, but going downhill on a bike also terrifies me a little, in addition to the wonderful feeling of being like a bird.
ReplyDeleteYou look so HAPPY!! I think that's pretty awesome:D
ReplyDelete80 miles! dang girl!! you go! and i love going downhill too, shane says i'm gonna crash into something one day, because i sometimes close my eyes to feel it :)
ReplyDelete80 miles?!? That is bad ass. Good luck with training!

You've got me wanting a bike so bad, but I doubt I could do an 80 mile trip at any time. Good luck with the training!
ReplyDeleteWOW 80 miles is a long way! That's pretty impressive :) Glad you enjoyed the training! Sounds like a nice ride.
ReplyDeletei would literally be dead within four and half minutes.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah! 80 miles! You are going to ROCK it! Love love love the last picture of you. You look like you're loving life, that makes me smile!

if my foot wasn't still messed up, i'd join you guys, seems like a blast. and the feeling of almost physically flying on your bike, ahhh i wish i was there.
ReplyDeletethe fact that you could survive and enjoy an eighty mile bike ride means only one thing, you are a robot.
ReplyDeletei KNEW you were a robot!
ReplyDeletesshh.... nobody is suppose to know this....
ReplyDelete80 miles! That's pretty intense and awesome.
ReplyDeleteWow you are intense! I love riding, but 14 miles and even 80 sound ridiculous! Kudos to you girl!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so awesome! My dad is really into bikeriding and I've never done it like, as hardcore exercise, but it looks really fun and exhilarating. Can't imagine going such a long distance though! I'd be way in the back, walking up all the hills, lol.
ReplyDeletegreat photo honey :D
ReplyDeletewow that sounds like one heck of a ride, 80 miles, wow! - sure it'll be a fab experience & can't wait to hear about it in October xox
