Cycling the Underground Railroad

Get Set…

I’ve been getting loose ends tied up this week & pretty much have my act together and am ready to drive to Mobile tomorrow and start the UGRR tour on Friday.  Yippee!

With all the last minute chores and errands I haven’t been able to ride much and I feel really sluggish - as if I’ve started to detrain.  One of the other women on the tour says on her blog that she’s happy to have time off the bike this week.  Me, I’m just the opposite - I need to do strenuous activity and have endorphins flowing to feel right.  Keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll feel strong again once we get going.  

I did manage to get out and try the new shoes and pedals.  Touch wood, I think they’re going to be okay.  May be my imagination but somehow with them my balance feels better, more steady.  It’s amazing how you really can feel any change you make to your bike.  

And I reached 10,000 miles on my bike’s odometer!

There are a few pictures from life in Sarasota here .
