8 Lakes Leg Aches 2010

Just finished the 8 Lakes Leg Aches ride. Mom and Keith rode 30 miles which impressed me because Keith has only ridden once this summer (at the beginning). I rode with Kristin, and Barry. Kristin rode with us the 1st 30 miles and then cut off to do the 75 mile ride. Barry and I tackled 45 miles. I was happy to do it right at about 3 hours and averaging about 14.9 miles an hour. I was surprised to be more sore after this ride than I was the Lewiston ride. Barry said he is more sore after Lewiston than 8 Lakes. My body must like hills more than distance. We had a pretty good head wind most of the ride which made it harder and one corner we went around if we would have stopped peddling I'm pretty sure we would have gone backwards. :)But the temperature was perfect. We could not have asked for a better day. I guess last year it was 100 degrees and they had to come get people off the course because of the heat! I've done nothing but lay around the rest of the day. I have no energy, but, I'm glad I did it and am looking forward to next year.
