Big Wheels keep on turning!

Sounds like Shannon is aiming for her 40 miles this week. It should be nice tomorrow for a ride. Mile reported success on his Metric Century ride (67.66) or 2/3 of 1/2 of the STP as he put it :)

Joanne got in over 30 miles on Thursday. She rode home from work then met up with me on the trail. She rode extra to ride along with me while I finished my 21 miles. My clipless clamp came loose so I had a heck of a time getting it off the pedal. Ended up taking my shoe off and leaving it on the pedal.

Today we put in over 27 miles. We rode on the road for the first time in a long time. We used Rainier Rd to go to lunch but took the trail home. The 10 miles on Rainier Rd went fast. Left the house at 11:15 and made it to meet mom and dad at 11:56. We were hungry and a little muddy!

I ended up on the ground again today, slowed down too much going up a hill and didn't get my foot out of the clipless in time again. Luckily I was able to fall towards the grass on the side of the trail. No scraps or bruises but I need to get better at hills and quick stops.

Ride often and safe!
