Day 75

My last ride before The Precious and I head north for the big LiveStrong Challenge ride this weekend! I got a much later start than I'd planned, hence my ride was shorter than I'd wanted--an hour and 15 minutes on the Mt. Vernon trail instead of the two hours I was hoping for. The setting sun prevented me from going farther and I made it back at dusk.

It was a good ride but I have to admit that I'm ever so slightly concerned about all the hills I'll encounter this weekend and the degree of havoc they're going to wreck on my legs. Even a better bike can't help me defy gravity when I'm struggling uphill.

Thanks to everyone who made a donation towards my LiveStrong fundraising efforts. Wish me luck this weekend!
