Today Harley and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary. I began the day with an early morning bike ride. At mile 38 I paused to phone Harley to proclaim my love and “Happy Anniversary.”
38 miles in 3.8 minutes per mile… Not! Although my average speed has increased with training, my best mile per hour average is 12.
Harley has been a great encourager as I’ve trained for 60 for Hope. Well, actually he’s been a cheerleader time and again over the years! And he’s come through fabulously once again! He’s going to ride with me next Saturday. And although his average pace is significantly faster than mine, he’s going to ride at my speed. What a caring guy, I’ve got!
I returned from 41 miles, my longest training ride thus far. I was pleased that I had great energy throughout the day. It was a wonderful day as we headed off for quick get-away at a charming B&B and elegant dinner.
Today’s ride solidified my confidence. If I can ride 41 miles and not return home depleted of energy – I can ride 60 – especially with Harley, my best cheerleader riding beside me!
