Aledo Ride for the Heroes
Apr 16^th, 2011, 1:59pm

Did the 44 mile route, fast for me. No cramps and wasn't tired. Maybe I need to start increasing my mileage. Got to meet Shelly and her Dad, also John and Mike. A few other bents spotted in the distance but don't know who they were. At least 6 trikes I saw.
Cool enough for tights and jacket at the start but warmed up after an hour. Road surfaces were reasonably good, some small pothols and cracks, but at least no boulderseal.
New Garmin Edge 800 working like a champ. Someday I'll learn how to use all the features.

But some of those 30+ mph downhills were kinda scary, especially when the road was a bit rough. As for the hills it was either up or down for the entire 60 miles.
