Ride Jackie ride

I just got back from my first bike ride of the season. I did a big 10 mile circle. It felt great. Much, much cooler by the lake front. I'm guessing 20-25 degrees cooler. It was 86 when I was out in my car this afternoon, but it felt chilly by the lake. Amazing! So...biking is my FAVORITE way to excercise or maybe dancing. I'm all psyched about riding more this summer. Can I ride 1000 miles this season? I rode 500 the summer before last, but only 250 last summer.

  1. Sounds so great! And when it's 80s out, sometimes it's nice to feel a little chilly!!! 1000 miles is a pretty lofty goal, but I bet you could!

    1. If you rode 36 miles a week from now through the end of September you'd hit 1000! With some long weekend rides and some shorter weekday rides you could totally hit that!

  2. Thanks! I was going to do that math, but didn't get to it yet. That sounds totally do-able. I often ride 10-12 miles before I go to work in the morning. I wish I didn't get so sweaty, because then I would just ride my bike to work. I may do it anyway. I used to wear gym clothes to work, wait a few minutes for the sweat to dry and then change into my work clothes. It would be great to not use the gas.
