OMG we signed up to ride 60 miles this Saturday! Heart be still <not>. Based on the previous weekend's double ride experience, I *think* it will be ok, but the nerves are kicking in each day the ride gets closer. --Bee
p.s. No matter what, this is going to be beautiful, I've only driven to La Conner to see the tulips, seeing them by bike will be a stunning feast for the eyes.
Bee is a semi-faux bicyclist: during the warmer months she gets her %$#@ together for the 14-mile commute to work. But on average she only bikes about 10% annually (in her head it’s 50%). Her first commuting bike was a knock-off
Trek. Her second
commuter bike, the Newmar motor coach of bikes, is a Giant electric. She's going with a Cannondale road bike for the STP. Bee plans to get
in STP survival mode with a combo of cycling, tennis, and running.
While V has tons of wonderful bike memories ranging from her second-hand Schwinn with the green banana seat to her beloved electric commuter bike, and loves that they've taken her everywhere from the mall to Belgium, she's never rode more than 20 miles at a time and is kind of terrified that she's signed up for 205+.
