The Results Show, or Grandmother Watches NASCAR for the Crashes

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the results show!

In the interest of full disclosure I need to tell you now that we only went 24 miles today instead of the proposed 40. Excuses are as follows:

1.)  It was hot as balls outside today, so we waited to leave until about 5:30 to leave the house. It was still 93 degrees at that point, but it cooled down fast as the sun set…romantically.

2.)  Fit Lesbian went to a 2 hour paddleboarding yoga class this morning which looks like this:

 (because yoga should be harder)

We bought a bunch of cards with little route maps that run around Boston. Given the limited daylight we picked a short ride that promised to be “flat with rolling hills.” I’m positive those hills were deemed "rolling" by someone in a car, and halfway up the third climb in the first 5 miles, I hopped off my bike and hoofed it up instead. But this was the only set back.

The rest of the ride went like this!

The Stats:

Miles: 24

Avg. MPH: 12

Top Speed: 44.7!

 And we ended the night with this:

Fun Fact: My Grandmother watches NASCAR for the crashes, and that is exactly why I am watching the Tour de France (shown above).

This week you can look forward to adventures in clip-in pedals, hill climbing: take 2, and maybe we will get to that 40 mile ride after-all. I can't wait to share it with you!

Sincerely, 

Fat Lesbian
