We did it!

Well, we did our first ever organized bike ride on Saturday, and we survived! We rode in the Tour de Cure, which is a bike ride to raise money for the American Diabetes Association. We rode the 50K (31 mile) ride and had an awesome time. It took me about 2 1/2 hours to finish (with 3 short rest stops along the way). Jason could have gone much further (don't you hate guys who hardly ever work out but can still beat the socks off you when you have been working hard?) but it was a good distance for me. It was a great feeling at the end, because there were people cheering for us at the finish line. We really enjoyed it and look forward to our next biking adventure! Thank you to all who donated money to help our cause.

For those of you interested in our training regimen, unfortunately it is nothing spectacular. We started riding in June, and we did our 27 mile ride through Glenwood Canyon mid-July. We did a short training climb up a canyon road several weeks ago, and I ride my bike to and from work a couple times per week (6.5 miles each way). My goal someday is to do Ride the Rockies, which is a 6-7 day ride through the mountains. But I have LOTS of training to do before that happens! Thanks for all your support and encouragement!
