Bike Rides

My First Ride
It was about four weeks ago, I picked up my $1200 bike on Saturday and went on my first 30 mile bike ride on Sunday. It was horrible, I fell 4 times, never have done so many hills in my life. One fall was on hill, and I cried going up 2 of them. I got through and moved on.

My 2nd Ride
So this was recovery week, so I thought until Coach Chuck said it is 40 miles. Huh, Say that again. Well I can tell you I only fell twice, the first fall was at the end of 20 miles in front of a coffee shop (Bike Stop) in front of expert bikers. And it was in slow motion LOL. Oh Well. Then did my final 20 got to my car and once again slow motion but a loud boom. These two women yelled out are you ok, one guy shouted it...Yea Yea Yea. The guy said I know, it is more your ego that hurts. LOL

Well rode with some teammates last friday. It went pretty well and they all were helpful. One of more compettive teammate Jeremy (and a stealth athlete) Really pushed me on the hills which was good for me. He is a great motivator.

So I had special training today with my Coach and her beau for hills. I will discuss that tomorrow.

All I know is have to make it to this race and finish.
