This past weekend marked my longest ride of the year so far. I rode from my house to the Chain of Rocks Bridge (about 17.5 miles) and met up with several of my fellow Monsanto Mavericks. We embarked on the 50 mile Bicycle Fun Club route, but after about a mile, I felt the itch and took off. I needed to get back home ASAP because my folks were coming into town. The 50 was FAST and felt pretty good, averaging a bit over 20 mph. I stopped back at the Chain of Rocks Bridge for a refill, a banana and a quick stretch before heading the last 17.5 miles home. The last 4-5 miles were pretty tough, but I felt quite accomplished... and wasn't even too sore on Sunday.
Here's a charicature that was recently done f me... it's good to be able to laugh at oneself!
