Flying Wheels

Saturday was perfect weather for the hills of Flying Wheels. Lynn and I stayed together for the whole ride, catching up with Jennifer off and on and running into other buddies at the rest stops. It was a great ride and fun to see so many friends.

Lynn, Jennifer and I seem to be about the same pace, although I suspect Lynn might be faster riding on her own. Jennifer still climbs faster than I do, but I can always catch up with her on the down hill.

I had planned to do the century, but decided at the last minute to do the 65-mile loop instead. As Scott said, that extra 35 miles wasn't going to make us any stronger for Tour de Blast on Saturday anyway, so why bother? In retrospect, it was the right decision, and I feel as ready as I can be for Alaska in less than three weeks. Now Tour de Blast next Saturday, that's a different story entirely...
