It’s all about the bike.
We did that THING again……3 more times.
The competition is fun. After one ride this weekend, Bill came up behind me as I washed dishes, wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear "You will never beat my time, because, even though you are getting faster, I am too." Then he kissed me and said "I love you".
I also caught him glancing at his watch when I came in the back door from my ride on Sunday. :*)
I have shaved 10 minutes off my time, and am averaging 14.1 mph. Not too bad for an advanced maternal age chick. Bill has also shaved time off of his best, and can ride 20 miles in 1 hour and 10 minutes, averaging about 17 mph. My best time now is 1 hour and 24 minutes, so I need to shave 14 minutes off my time.
It is very different terrain than we are used to. Along the Gulf coast, where we used to live, it is flat and windy. It is hard riding into the wind, but when you turn around, you fly with the wind at your back. I used to average about 21 mph. Here, it is very hilly AND windy, so you really have to push yourself to get a good time. The hills are rough when you are riding into the wind. It makes for a great workout though!
Needless to say, I WILL catch him, and have fun trying!!!
Stay tuned.
