T ‘rain’ er Ride thank you……

Alright, I backed down from WRCS #10 today. It has been raining off and on since yesterday, at times heavy and windy. I woke up this morning looked outside, and gave it great thought, “should I, or shouldn’t I meet the group for the ride today?” I then went outside and made the final decision. I think the trainer is the way to go. Had this been a race there is no doubt I’d be out there. Kim (as mentioned in the past few posts, remember the excuse maker ‘painter’ ;> lol) called me and invited me over for an indoor training ride. I (along with Jay’s help) packed up my bike and trainer and headed over to her house around 11:15am. We messed around with her stereo system for about 10 minutes so I could play my i-pod and then we got on the bikes. We did a 2:15:00 ride. The ride had it all, climbing, intervals, steady state, endurance, standing, seated……. We worked hard and encouraged each other along the way. In the end we were soaked not from the outdoor elements but from our own intense t ‘rain’ er ride!

Cheers,

Sue
