biked 80 miles

I'm particularly proud of the last one. Until Saturday, the longest I had ever biked was probably 15-20 miles. But thanks to strong encouragement from some biking friends at work (and finally having a real road bike), I signed up for the Little Red Riding Hood Ride (a woman's only bike ride). We were planning on doing a metric century (68 miles), but had an unexpected detour and added on 12 miles.

It was a lot of fun. There are a couple of moments (mainly on one long hill), where I was thinking "this sucks." But generally, I had a great time. And I'm not even sore today! I was definitely tired last night, but I think I'm basically recovered already. Although, we'll see how I feel when I get back on my bike tomorrow. :)
