25 Mile Salt Lake Bike Tour


6am and rainy!!

Our group at the finishline
Jamie, Ashely,Jamie,Teri, Nicole & Shelly
So much dang fun!!!

Picture Perfect!!
 I did my first Bike Tour with Shelly, Jamie, Nicole and two friends of Jamie and I freakin loved it!!! I was sad at first because I would normally be running the 1/2 marathon but since my knees won't let me run long distance now I had to find an alternative activity/outdoor exercise!!  We started at 6am which should be illegal for anyone to be up at that hour on a Saturday morning but on we go...we get to the start line and what does it do? Starts to freakin rain really... damn it, it was cold but my adrenaline was pumping which helped keep me warm.....a little.  The horn goes off and that's when I was freakin out alittle from all the other bikers. They were so close and some were going really fast past you...so we finally get to a point that everyone was spread out and I could stop worrying about my face hitting the pavement. I finally relax and take in the accomplishment I was attempting.  25 miles 1 hour 32 minutes on a bike is pretty fun but I'm not sure if my butt will ever be the same.!!! 
My next accomplishment is on May 7 in Herriman, "Goldilocks" which is 40 miles....I'm really freakin out about it already!!! Wish me luck....
