friends indeed

These are my friends Sarah and Linda changing my back tube with Linda's spare tube. The three of us thought it would be a good idea to ride a long distance training ride. We started at Sarah's, picked up the wow ride 50 mile route and got 82 miles in yesterday. We stopped in Mason for breakfast. After breakfast I got a flat as soon as I got back o my bike. I had a co2 cartridge and gun but no tools or tube. Luckily my good friends had the needed supplies and skill to get me back on the road. We finished our ride without further incident.
This morning I thought I best get right back on the bike . My arms were a little sore at first, my thighs screamed for a bit, my bottom did not want to connect with the saddle . After a few miles I was okay though and I logged another 45 miles. The Dalmac is less than 3 weeks away. My total mileage this season is 1,979 miles. Although I'm still a little concerned about the longest day..94 miles, and about the "wall" , my training has been good. I'm ready!!!
