It took us about 3 hours and 15 mins of riding time to complete the 25 mile ride.... I am not sore now... but I am sure I will be sore later... hopefully I will be able to walk tomorrow. 

The route took me by the house I grew up in ... so that was a nice surprise!

My husband was working so he could not pick me up from the ferry... so I rode home... I confess I had to walk up the last block of this hill I had to ride up.. but I made it home!!!

Total biking for the day.... 28 miles!

This week has been very emotional for me... was I going to be strong enough... have enough endurance.... it did not help that I struggled with knee pain up until this past week...  But I pushed past all these thoughts with the attitude that I will do the best I can...

Off to a hot bathtub with my new friend Epson Salts!!!

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
