NOW Who Needs the Snickers?

Shey and I drove to Augusta for a long ride this past weekend.  

I met up with Elizabeth and agreed to ride as much as she needed to for the day.

The weather was perfect.  Overcast and burning off into a lovely sunny day.  Not too hot.

History:  I met Elizabeth back when she was in High School.   She showed up, very nervous, with her brother, at one of our cyclocross races.  I talked her into doing the race, she had fun and she just kept racing.  She got faster and faster every year.  We have been riding together for close to 10 years now.  Hmmm, we might have to celebrate that with cheesecake or something!

 I used to talk Elizabeth into riding longer with me by bringing along snack sized snickers in my pack.  When she was 'done', I would tell her I had a snickers waiting for her at the top of the climb.

  

It always worked, but this day I needed some chocolate/fitness/nutrition/legs/lungs, for sure!  She schooled me completely.

                                       

Though I ALWAYS have fun on our rides.  I was slow.  My legs just wouldn't get peppy.  Looks like I have some work to do before our next ride.

 Great time and I was happy to be out there!  Thanks E!!!
