First Post - My great life!

Wow! I 'm finally a blogger! I have been meaning to start this for quite a few weeks, but alas, life got in the way. I am psyched to start off with a ride report as my first post. Unfortunately, we lost our small digital camera over the summer so I don't have any ride pictures to post :( Not a problem, because I have plenty of cute baby pics to put up instead.

Our ride started off at 10am this morning at a crisp temperature of 33 degrees! The temperature wasn't that bad with my smart wool socks and polypropolene tights and the warm sunshine through the bare trees was wonderful. We rode for 2 1/2 hours and it was great. My legs felt wonderful and I was able to climb a couple of sections that have plaged me in the past. The amazing part was that my husband, nicknamed Sq-Earl, said his legs weren't on and that he felt tired for the last 45 minutes of the ride and afterward he was beat while I felt fine. In true-to-me riding style, I managed to bump into a couple of trees (I am named TreeSaw...what do they expect ;) ) and had one slow off the bike crash, but all of us (5 total) managed to leave with no blood spilled. Once we got home it was a hot shower, some tomato soup and playing with the baby to keep me occupied for the rest of the day.

It's days like this that remind me that I have a great life!!!
