Rubber to the road- I just rode in from Lacey and boy are my arms tired!

Joanne and I did get a chance to ride to work this Thursday (May 6th). Joanne ride her bike and I gave the trike a try. It was 19 miles each way taking the bike trail the majority of the way. It was pretty chilly for the first part of the ride but it warmed up nicely on the way in. My arms wanted to cramp when we first started but they settled down after a few miles.

I departed from work at 4:00 and Joanne left about 4:40. She caught up to me around the 11 mile mark. We shared a Powerbar, had some water and finished out the last 8 miles. We found a rain cloud and got a light soaking for about 2 of the 3 last miles. It was a little refreshing at first but then it got pretty chilly!

We're going to ride to meet mom and dad for lunch today. It will be about 15 miles one way. The weather is really nice today and it's tempting to ride more but yard work will have to come first today. We will both be on two wheelers today. I'm giving my arms a break today!

That's about it from Rainier.
