... "How My Bike Ride Went From 28 Miles to 35." Gmaps said our route was possible, but they were wrong. At the end of Tenerife Rd we got to a private drive with lots of No Trespassing signs posted everywhere. 28 miles was already 6 more than I had ever ridden, but now we had to double back and the 28 became 34. We were pretty low on water, but luckily Becky Hall lives right on Tenerife, so we filled up our bottles from her hose. We were both totally spent when we made it back to the car, but we did make it. And we've got ten more days to build up to another 15 so we can do the 50 mile ride the 19th.
As for weigh-ins, I was "down" to 256 last Friday. I'm down a couple more this week, but I'm still eating too much. Must be residual cruise ship disease...

Way to go Jim & Therese!! Awesome bike ride! You guys will have no problem making it 50 now! Keep on pedalin!
ReplyDeleteJoan,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your support and encouragement, as always. I'm still a little concerned about the 50, however. Not from a fitness standpoint, but from a soreness-in-my-nether-region standpoint!
