Fun & Fitness over 50

Went for a Sunday 6AM ride before church with Charles. He usually takes me up some challenging climb but he had mercy on me today. Maybe it's just cause we only had 2 hours.
We did a couple of pretty good hills but definitely not "killers".
In fact, I had a treat. We went down the down side of Blodgett Hill. That would have been a killer going up it. But I broke my bike speed record going down, 45.0 mph. I feathered the brakes too. A little too thrilling. I have these thoughts "I hope I tightened that quick release on the front wheel right" or "I really should have replaced that other tire too." :-)
But everything worked fine.
It was a good workout. We pushed it. Beat the rain too!
