On Tuesday, June 26th, 2012 it hit 109 in Austin. So, what did ABCx do? We rode our normally scheduled Tuesday night ride! And the best part was, no one passed out! We did find that it was hotter when we stopped riding, so stops were limited to a few minutes.
ABCx has started riding w/ the Mamma Jamma training rides. On Sunday we went to the Veloway. I had the pleasure of giving Grenita ride. Last time I road down there was about 18 months ago. I remember struggling up the hills, well, I kicked their butts this time! It's always good to see progress!
But on the progress note, I don't feel like I'm as fast as I was last year,def not as fast when D & I were riding.
Still riding to work at least 1 full trip a week and trying to run errands in the hood.

1000 miles
I hit the 1000 mile mark for the year this week on my way to work Weds. Not too exciting since I'm keeping track of 2 bikes & couldn't watch the computer turn, but it is probably the quickest to 1K I've had in a long time, maybe ever, not sure what happened in MS150 training days. Not sure when I hit it last year, but I know it was later. And I still have Mamma Jamma training and the Katy trail to go! Would be awesome to hit 3K.
Rides the past 2 weeks included: ABCx ride (4 newbies), 32 mile ride in Round Rock to Jonah where I felt awesome! Complete commuting day followed by a commute home and to work the next day. I also rode to the pool twice.

May Bike Month Summary

May 1: This was an easy one--Austin Bike Chix ride.
May 2: Commuted to work, received a ride home after a work function. Came across a fellow cyclist who had fallen, I gave her a bandaid & escourted her to Town Lake.
May 3: Drove to work & commuted home, rode by the sight of a recent car/bike accident to pay my respects to Verter. I forgot my light thus I wasn't able to attend the bike rally. Grabbed a geocache on the way home.
