Hung around, walked the dogs, got a bagel & coffee & watched the roads dry up. So kitted up like it was February & went out. (it was 60 degrees!!!) I put a loop on the end of my nermal mileage & thought I would get >45. It's a good thing cause I was struggling the last few miles/hills. 3 energy gels (Salted Carmel by the Sea) Do we have to wait up all night for the Hawaii results? @Square Wheels.

Popular Post Square Wheels Posted August 22, 2021 Author Popular Post Share #59 Posted August 22, 2021 @Zephyr, this was a terrific idea. Great participation, came really close to the 1,000 miles. I suspect with the people who are part of this site, but don't visit often, we made it to the 1,000 mark. People such as @Page Turner, @Mr. Goat Geddah, @tybeegb, @F_in Ray Of Sunshine, @Prophet Zacharia (you had to have put in a few miles), @Mr. Silly, @The_Karen_Cooper_Incident, @Chris..., @Pokey, @12string (miles please), @denniS (miles not hours our buffalo seen), @LoneWolf, @Rattlecan, @pedalphile, @onbike1939, @SuzieQ, @Reverend_Maynard, @shotgun, @Olas Nah, @Forum Administrator, @RoadBike, @roadfrog, @roadiejorge, @questrider, @airinpie, @Sharpy, @Rumble_Strip, @Scott in MN, @speedysmed, @eyebike, @EyesofTX, @Slow_Guy_On_Bike, @wolfpack and so many more.

Sunday was catch up the garden and yard after vacation. 3 of the bikes are still in the truck, haven't finished unpacking yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
