The Best 70 Miles of My Life
Last Saturday I attended CASVAR. This was a benefit for Dr. Bennett's family. I had originally only thought of riding the 20 or 40 miler. I have been "training" pretty much all summer. I started out riding with the guys from the valley and they were moving really fast. I couldn't keep up with the pack and broke off. They were going up the south end anyways and I am almost sure I am not ready for that yet. They were trying to talk me into the 100 miler, I will be ready for those next year, but for now I will stay with what I feel comfortable with.
I was riding past a pair of two older ladies and asked how far they were going. They said well we think we will go on the 70 miler. I thought well I am young and probably in better shape anyways so I rode the full 70 miles. The rest stops had great people who were helpful and great encouragement. I had Cory meet me back at Canyon View Park and we had a great dutch oven cook out. I am hooked on cycling...it's addicting!
School is underway as is coaching volleyball. Hudson is back at his in home daycare and loves Natalie. Tip out there to working Mom's or those to be-find a daycare that is in home that will do exactly what you would do or more and this will save your life;) seriously. Cory started his online class today and is enjoying his job. He is running into struggles, but likes the challenge.

Jen, I'm so glad there's now at least one other crazy biker in the Frome family! Your ride sounds like a lot of fun--wish I were there!
