Flying Wheels!!

I completed my second Flying Wheels - 100 miles - 6 hours, 36 minutes. Yes, my 54-year old legs are tired, yes it was an amazing day, especially the weather - we have not had a single DAY since May 14th that has been at least 70% sun and above 75 degrees but today it all came together - the sun shone and the ride was awesome!

It didn't begin well, Friday night I discovered my car had a flat tire.  Finding that out Saturday morning would have been especially disappointing.  Peter, my saviour, came over and fixed it and ever the police officer, he lent me his car since mine had the temporary tire and he was concerned about me going over 50 miles per hour.

But all's well that ends well - who cares about the 6 miles of hills at the 80th mile marker! What a great day.


I hate bananas and that is often what is offered at rest stops! Thank God for Luna Bars.
