Goldilocks Ride

This last Saturday Melissa and I just finished our second bike race/ride. (Technically its not a race so you have to call it a ride, but the distance is long enough you’d think it was a race.)

The ride was 42.3 miles and it took us just over 3 hours to finish. Truthfully I was scared to do the ride all week, the night before and even the morning of. Melissa said we needed to eat a hearty breakfast before the ride but I could barely choke it down.

BUT the race went so well. Mel and I took off and never looked back. We were passing people like crazy, speedy down the road and climbing hills as if they were only a bump. In the end I crossed the finish line with a huge smile on my face almost feeling like I could have done more... almost.

Me just after the ride. You can’t see it, but my legs were SHAKING!

Looks like Mel was a little tired too.

Together at the finish line. Wheww...
