Rita's first "real" bike ride. A 30 mile tour of Dallas, Swiss Ave., White Rock, the "M" streets and AA Center. With a temp of 38 we added an extra layer of clothing and headed down to the AAC. Surprisingly the weather was not that bad, but I was glad that I had not just finish a swim like some fools. We did bike thru some small snow flurries, but neither of us got very cold. We stopped at the 10 and 20 mile rest stops. This was truly a tour. Lots and I mean lots of turns. We took it nice an slow. Rita had a good reverse split. The second 10 miles was faster than the first and the third 10 miles was faster than the second.
I may have have created a monster. We are going to ride the Lancaster Country Ride - me 62 miles, Rita 26 miles. We will see if she still loves me.

Very nice. I can't get Carmel near a bike but I think she believes everything is a race (where would she get such an idea?). Maybe I can convince her of the merits of "tours". She was supposed to run the Iceman 5k but got scared away by a little snow. However, my daughter was brave enough to come out and run and then cheer on the old man.
