much better!

my sister-in-law took me on my second ride of the week yesterday and we'll just say, it was a VAST difference from the first one. hills, hardley any traffic and just relaxing the whole way. i didn't even feel like i've done anything today. it was awesome. i'm sure this is more of what cycling is supposed to be like. i know many of you were shocked to hear of the last ride, but for colorado being such an active state, there are huge bones of contention between motorists and cyclists. about every day, we hear a new story about a cyclist being hit by a car. my friend had told me time and time again how people are very rude when she cycles. honking, throwing things, i must say, i didn't believe her.

anyway, this ride was much different and more likely the way that it will be for our 150 miler. i'm very excited now....and may even buy some new bike shorts that i found!

here was our route yesterday!
