I had a loooong bike ride to do today...loooong for me. The schedule called for 2.5 hours. So I multi tasked and biked out to Pike Lake where the TKD school was having a fun day in the park!! Ended up being just shy of 2 hours but I was cool with that. TKD classes and then a bbq and then some water gun fights and soccer games. Was a very nice day and a really good bike ride. I think those plyometric workouts I have been doing are helping. I went out Valley Road and did the two hills out there twice. And I was cruising!! Was lots of fun.
On the way back into town, we needed gas and stopped at the little Pike Lake gas station. There was an older lady sitting on the bench with her bike and all decked out in her biking gear. She was on her cell phone when we pulled up. When she got off the phone, I asked if she was okay and if she needed a ride back into town. She said she was fine but thanks. She was wearing an MS Bike jersey so I asked about the MS Bike Tour coming up. She told me all about it and of course I told her I would be there. She then asked if I was on a team and invited me onto hers!!! She started cycling at age 50 and has done the tour the last 12 years.
My new team's name is "Back of the Bus"!! Hahahahahha!!! She was a super cool gal and was so warm and inviting and we exchanged e-mails and phone numbers. Now I am officially on a team for the MS Bike Tour. Cool!!
