saturday stuff

60+ miles on the schedule for the day and it was all about bee caves...we were supposed to do two loops...saw jeremiah on the first loop and we planned to meet up for the second loop as we were the only ones out of the group that were riding long...had a good first loop and was not really excited out riding on the chip seal out to 71 then on 71 generally...so we took our chances and turned onto bee cave parkway...we knew it hit bee caves so off we went...it was a very nice road...had a good time out there but then we got to this hill i'm telling you i have never worked harder on a hill in my life...it was about 100 yards maybe longer but it was so steep...standing in my easiest gear i was breathing really hard and hoping that i didn't fall over...but we made it ! ...and were a little shocked as to where we ended up...a lot closer to 360 than we expected....

so we headed back out to sw parkway and did a loop down the big hill and back...then back to mopac with a loop...then one loop on the veloway...with some ice cold water :)...a new bike shop is opening on slaughter and they had water coolers (a la run tex) out at the veloway...a good way to finish a ride...a good ride over all...with good company...

did some random helping of j in the back yard...and odd chores around the house...thought about homework and decided to read harry potter instead...do homework on sunday...made pesto from the basil in from the farm share...and cook up a roasted veggie salad with pesto to take to ashley's....

and believe it or not...we went out on a satuday night...for a bbq...and i stayed up till 11! amazing...well that mid day nap always helps...
