Looong ride today

So I'm pretty much starting over with the whole ride blog thing... Haven't really been riding since I got the dogs, but I made a deal with rick to ride the cochise classic... the big one... 252 miles... Anyways, we're going to do about 2000 miles getting ready, and the first ride was today

This was also my first group ride, even though it was only the two of us. I have to say, riding with someone to break the wind (heh heh) really helps... like a lot. so we rode about 20 miles, with some good elevation... on one of the hills we made it to 40 mph... on the downhill. I have to say, I need to work on my climbing... at one point I had no choice but to stop on an uphill: it was that or barf. Anyways, I'm going to go lie down now.

Lessons Learned:

1. There's no way in heck I'm keeping up with Rick, he's a former marine NCO
2. roller( coaster)s might be named that because they can make you almost throw up
3. no dairy products before rides... no matter what I normally have for breakfast
