90 miles today

229 more or less (my bike computer reset along the way today)

Wow!  90 miles and I made it.  There was some really hard cycling along the way uphill into a stiff headwind but there were also some great miles.  I’ve jumped in the freezing cold pool (peer pressure will do that) and soaked for a few minutes in the hot tub (ahhhh) but shortly we’re headed out for a restaurant meal so I don’t have long.   Our cook provided lunch today as there was nothing else out there except a convenience store all day.  Tomorrow is a rest day so I’m sure I’ll have a chance to check in at some point after I clean up my bike, eat and do laundry.  Stay tuned…

i rode 14 miles on my trainer in the basement tonight. There was a headwind for a little bit, but I turned it off. And the terrain was pretty flat. Right about now I’d trade a body part for actual outdoor riding.

Hey, Ellen, we’re loving your blog! Your map is starting to fill up in the lower left-hand corner with push pins and the red line is getting longer. You go, girl! May that jet stream carry you along!
