Anticipation

Anticipation
Tomorrow is the big day
I must be insane

Beautiful new bike
Road stretching out before me
On my first bike tour

I won't be alone
Honey Daddy rides with me
And my parents too!

Anticipation
Miles to go before I sleep
Many, many miles.

This is it! Tomorrow is the Cycling Association of Star Valley's Annual Ride (CASVAR). I am going to ride 38 miles on my new bike (the farthest I have gone so far is about 22 miles). My husband is more buff than I am, so he is going to ride 85 miles. We are both slightly crazy because we think it should be a lot of fun!

Wish me luck!

    Wow, I ride very casually (think granny bike to the store kind of thing), and even that kind of kicks my butt some days. Have fun and good luck!

    Good luck! The most I've done at one time is about 6 miles I think. I give you a looot of credit for riding so long!

    Well, kudos to you! Makes my writing about walking two miles a day seem like a non-event. Best of luck on this adventure. I think your right --- It should be lots of fun. :)

    Oh my gosh! How long will that take? How long will 85 miles take the hubs? Good for you and good luck.
