Rode an excellent workout at lunch.  I did the "Elk Ridge figure 8".  I went up Mt. Loafer Dr. to Elk Ridge down Elk Ridge Dr. over to Goosenest and back up to Elk Ridge Dr.  A nice balance between flats and hills.  I was going fast for some reason home.  I am not sure if the wind was at my back.  Sometimes I can go fast after going up a hill. 

Got stung for my second time this month.  As I was scrambling to scratch the sting, a bug flew in my mouth.  The joys of biking.

I am trying to sneak an extra bike in this week and cut out one swim.  I will swim in the morning and that will be my only swim this week.  I had better make it worth it.

I think the higher miles is helping my bike.

You just make biking sound like so much fun...uphills, stings, bugs in the mouth...not to mention how darn comfortable those sweet little seats are! (I noticed that Emily sure has a nice seat on her bike!)

Great job on the bike ride!
