66 miler

As part of our training for this summer, we must ride one 65 mile route to practice long distances. Though I have always loved biking, 30 miles was usually more normal and realistic. That being said this long 66 mile ride was a great experience. I had some frustration with my seat and numbness because of poor posture but I pushed through it. I have since adjusted my seat to ensure good posture and a pain-free ride. The long mileage is still daunting to me, but it is my no means a race. Frequent stops, lots of water and snacks, and great company will get me through each day. I actually sort of find it amazing how your body can keeping pushing itself when it gets tired. I'll be counting on that.

I want to keep everyone updated this summer and I move across the country and so I'm bringing my iPod to blog on. If it's not blaringly obvious by this short post, I am testing out the iPod now. It works great but takes patience. And...don't worry about pics, I will be downloading them from dropbox so you can share in the scenery of this beautiful country!
