This morning we completed our second 56 mile ride on the Racine 1/2 Ironman course. While we didn't master the course, we definitely improved from our first ride. We didn't end our ride with an empty parking lot. We're speeding up! We were part of the fast bunch of the slow group. VICTORY! Maybe not, but we're feeling much better about our cycling progress. And now that we're feeling more comfortable, it's time for aerobars. We're going to look more tri-spiffy, and that's what is important to us :)
Highlights:
-During our Saturday morning ride, we passed a large group of Harley riders. The most bad a*& looking riders of the bunch waved at us (in their cool way). Love of the open rode, fresh air...I guess we have something in common with them. And of course, we're "cool," too.
- Walking 4 miles on Saturday with our mom & younger sister.
Learnings:
-Our cheap (functioning) bike rack doesn't remain attached over bumpy train tracks. We almost endured a major catastrophe - thank goodness the bikes didn't drag on the ground & there wasn't a driver following us!
-Red vines are power fuel candy
-Warm Accelerade isn't the most enjoyable drink
