52 miles

So yesterday I made a pit stop in Richmond, Va while driving back from school and participated in the capital to capital ride. There was an option to do the century ride (100 mi...not at that level yet), half-century (50 mi...yes mam), and 25 mi ride(...psh). I obviously chose the 50 mile one. In what I thought was going to be a terrible thunderstorm ride, turned out to be a sunny and scenic route through the historical civil war battle fields of Richmond.

I was a little nervous to start the day off because I knew that if I couldn't do this, that I would be in some serious trouble for the trip. Well turns out I could do the ride, no problem....except for my very sore bum and feet afterwards. My legs were fine, which was kind of surprising. I wasn't even that sore when I woke up today.

I plan on going on a small 15-20 mile ride today and then immediately jumping in the pool afterwards and having a mother's day cookout. I love summer.

Ok well just thought I'd start updating this thing, so that when I actually start my trip (T minus 5 days), I will actually use it. Ok gotta go bike!
