32 but felt like 50

June 27, 2011 16 Comments

Today my friend Terri and I left the “house-sitting-house” to embark on a 32 mile road ride. It was a perfect morning with temps hovering between the high 70′s and low 80′s. We enjoyed beautiful scenery, great conversation and undulating hills while getting our miles in.

However the ride was a bit harder than I expected!  Really our 32 miles felt more like 50 hard miles.

It ended up taking us 2 1/2 hours to complete those darn miles.

But we felt so good when we were done :)

Terri kicked my butt on the hills towards the end.

And I was just so happy to be done :)

What a great ride!

Afterwards I had to hurry and eat lunch and shower because I needed to get to my dentist appointment.  On my way our of town though, I stopped at my beloved Sprouts (oh I am gonna miss you when this house sitting gig is up!)  and grabbed a Kombucha to go with the raw macadamia balls Bill whipped up the other day.

Perfect post ride dessert.

Plus I made it to the dentist on time :)

Enjoy!

    I hate those rides that are supposed to be easy and end up way harder than the longer ones! But, good calorie burn in a shorter time LOL

    32 miles sounds like a lot! It would definitely feel like at least 50 to me too. You look adorable on your bike – I try to wear pink as often as possible.

    I understand feeling like a sweaty mess. I walked home from work yesterdy and by the time I got home my clothes were soaked through. It took nearly an hour to feel normal again. The walk felt great – the humidity not so much.
