short and sweet

just a quick post since it's way past my bedtime. today was a really good day in the saddle. spent about 4 hours and 30 minutes climbing and cranking through the streets of west central florida with a great group of friends. it's nice when everyone who is riding is on the same page with what the goal is for the day. every now and then you get a rebel tagging along that likes to upset the apple cart. i keep my fingers crossed for more rides this year like we had today.  the ride started at 7:30 am and it was a little nippy but i decided to go sans arm warmers since i figured it would warm up pretty quick and it did. first few downhills were chilly!  a few climbs later and i was warm and toasty. as usual, we have a few close encounters with cars here and there who still don't get the 3 foot rule but the saddest thing was a group of motorcyclists came by us with no other vehicular traffic to hinder them getting around us, and one lady (i use that term loosly) who was "riding bitch" shoots us a bird and yells at us "to get the f**k over."  i think that her man should buy one of these and stick it on the back of his ride:

anyway, we ended up with 87 miles at a nice 19.4 average speed.  i was toast after that and was already starting to take a nap on the drive back home. the love of my life has nicknamed me the "nap queen." i kindly reminded him that he gets about 2 hours more sleep each day than i do so i have to make up for the loss of sleep during the week on the weekends. i did just that too...3 hours worth! i think this was my longest nap ever, which is probably why i'm still awake now.

tomorrow we will do a 50 mile ride around home and should be done super early with plenty of time to chill and get stuff done...like color my hair, which i consider, very important stuff!

HAPPY EASTER...

much love and peace out!
