Fit To Ride

Awareness of the outside world. Sally went from heading right at us to slipping south of us. We ended up with steady rain, gusty winds, and stormy horses.

Sometimes you need numbers to see that you are making progress.

I don’t usually GPS bike rides. Either we ride a known route, or I measure it via Big Brother from my computer. On this day, we our route was out-and-back, on a road we didn’t know well. The eye in the sky let us know when to turn around.

I am quite taken with the average speed. Last time I measured, I was a solid 10 mph biker. The 11.8 includes starting, ending, and two mid-ride stops to check distance.
