Take It To The Limit

This week Jenni and I set out on our 64 mile ride at 8:00 as it was supposed to be really hot again on Saturday. We were supposed to ride this ride last week, but the broken spoke in the middle changed that plan, so we rode it this week. We both had a really good ride, and felt good throughout the entire 4:14 we were on the bike.

I think both of us were a little relieved that Red Bank has construction, and we couldn't climb the hill that would have been at mile 61, but we still had a good ride. Both us rode well up the Alum Creek dam, and up the short, but s-t-e-e-p (I hit 39 mph going down) hill at mile 63.

I'm getting my wheel respoked with some stronger spokes this week so I don't have to worry about breaking one in the middle of the Pelotonia ride and having to quit. Hopefully I have my wheel back and am ready to roll by Wednesday or Thursday this week. I'm going to ride 35-40 solo this coming Saturday, then on Sunday we're going to Amanda to preview what should be the hardest part of the course. I'm excited and nervous, 0nly 10 days left before the big ride. I feel ready though after this ride.
