Yesterday evening, I went on my longest ride that lasted a little under 3 hours and 30 minutes and covered 56 miles. It was my first half-iron distance ride. There are very few places that I know of where on one bike ride, amidst the rolling hills, you can see deciduous forests, endless acres of farmland and hay bales, a breath-taking pristine lake, coniferous forests, and a Native American reservation and casino.
There are very few words to describe how the ride made me feel, but the closest I can think of would probably be, biking in the yoop is the bomb diggity.
20 more days until the Koop! I’m glad to know that I’m at least able to go the distance. Now, just to shave off some minutes for the race. Getting excited…!
I just read some news about a biker who died after being hit by a car. This is getting to be more intense than I thought it would be. We need to seriously pray before each ride…
@xjohnyoon – yeah, i think it’s definitely important to be safe during rides. i really think we should do a bike safety workshop! how’s the riding coming along??
