Only One Saturday Left

As I sit here in Herriman, wondering if the roof on my house will blow off,  I can’t believe that there is only one Saturday left before the 60 mile ride.  I haven’t ridden my bike for almost two weeks now and I am feeling quite sluggish.  I find it funny how I was constantly wishing for warmer weather, but when the warmer weather came I had less time to ride.   With warm weather comes more responsibility in and out of the house.   I was advised that I should try to do a 40 mile ride before the 60 mile, but so far have not been able to find the time.  It has been so much fun trying to get together with friends to ride at different times of the day. (Mornings are my favorite!)  I have felt better physically and amazingly mentally since I started this adventure, and I hope to ride for a very long time.  Now, I just might cross that finish line dragging the bike behind me with bloody knees, but the fact is I WILL finish the 60 mile ride no matter how hard it is.  And I think there will at least be a few other women like myself, considering more than 50% of the riders signed up for the 60 miler.  Unless of course there are hundreds of amazing women riders, which I have a feeling there will be.  But being last is okay with me as long as I finish.  I hope for all of our sakes the weather will be cooperative….. that is temperatures above 45 degrees and winds below 40 mph.
