I finally got a few nice glimpses of Spring this last week. I wasn't able to get in any substantial rides, but it was enough to keep the odometer moving.
Greg & Alyssa Gatrell: To thank my brother and his family for their generous donation I put 100 big ones in for them. Last Friday I rode out to Pages Lane in Bountiful with a goal of averaging 20 mph for the full 29 miles. I think I averaged 19.3 mph...not bad for a solo ride. The next 38 miles on Saturday were very painful. I made myself work on climbing. I rode up Emigration Canyon, down the other side, and up towards Big Mountain until I hit snow. I then headed down to where the road meets I-80. I then had to climb back up the other side of Emigration. OUCH. I did more hills again on Monday. I rode out to work, then rode up and up and up to Millcreek Canyon. I made it up to Log Haven (brrr...there is a lot of snow up there!). I made it home just before dark with some tired legs after putting in almost 36 miles. No pain, no glory I guess. Thanks Greg and Alyssa!
Jim & Wendy Henderson: Luckily I was able to get all of their miles in today with the wind and rain that was brewing. I rode out to work and took the long way home, if you will, to round it out to 20 miles to say THANK YOU! I made sure to throw in some extra hills for you guys
Training Miles: 650
LOTOJA here we come! I am raising money to fight cancer in memory of my Dad. I am riding 1 mile for every dollar donated and want to keep donors up to date on where I rode my bike to thank them. You can donate at: http://www.active.com/donate/lotoja08/ELindbe76
