My Daughter is a Cyclist!

I wanted to make an announcement! Amelia is a cyclist! She rides every other day while her Dad runs. It is something she looks forward to, and is sad to miss. She is getting faster and faster on her mountain bike.

She is my daughter (minus the crazy competitive, adrenaline junkie part of me).

Speed Ride 7/12

About 10 miles in 39 minutes. I say "about" because I put my clock to close to my computer and for some reason it started to run... very fast! So, I'm not quite sure on time but this is what I recall as I rode up my drive way:) Humid today.

Saturday 7/9

Rode 30 in 2 hours 5 minutes.

Nice breeze. Did get hot towards the end. And gravely. One of the roads I take was under construction, for about 5 miles. And, then I went to take the "short cut" after 5 miles of bad road and was greeted by another "under construction" sign. So I went around the long way to avoid it and ended up getting in my longest ride in a long time!

Hotter than Hell

These days the song "God Blessed Texas with His Own Hand" seems like a joke. I'm thinking it was cursed by someone else...

Anyway, really struggling with motivation these days.

My ONE, yes, ONE ride last week:

Speed Ride
9.4 miles in 34 minutes
(And, I looked like I had gone swimming.)
