Hot Ride

We took 2rmalina out on Heights Blvd. on Sunday morning, starting about 7:30. I was hoping we could do about 20 miles, but we hung in there for about 27, which is about 8 laps. We took only one water bottle apiece, plus our coffee travel mugs, and quickly ran through the water. Fortunately, there are a couple of c-stores on the route, so we were able to replenish. We only averaged 13. 3 mph, but that's because we had to manage the six stop lights per lap. When we were cruising, we were easily 15+. Al in all, given the hot weather (88 at the end), we were pleased with the ride. Now we need to keep boosting mileage every week - and get some wind and/or hill work.
