a week and about 20 degrees make. Jerry and I rode today and yesterday. We were going to ride tomorrow but he's going out of town on Sunday and really needs to get stuff done before he hits the road.
Thursday was our usual China Camp ride and we are really working well through its twists and turns. Our average speed was up and we had a great time.
Today we did reverse Tiburon Loop. It was downright cold when we left, but I definitely prefer that to the scorching temperatures of last weekend. We did pretty well all day, though the last climb out of Ft. Baker did both of us in, pretty much. No lunch might have had something to do with it.
So, we are finished training before we leave on The Ride next Sunday. I really do think we are ready. The trike is slow, but it's steady and we can climb just about anything on it. It will be interesting to see whether we love it or hate it after a week and more than 500 miles of day-in, day-out riding. And we'll do our best. We've done the hard part, which is raise the money, although in reality we are not quite there. Jerry needs about another $500, but I think we'll get there.
Jerry is off to Texas on Sunday to see his mom, and he's taking several projects with him. He's got fabric to make the Team Tandemonium flag for the trike, and we also bought some fabric for him to make a couple of small bags to hang on the back of our seat for jackets, leg warmers and the like.
So for the next week I'll go out and get the little things we need-- travel-size toiletries, a new set of cleats, brake pads, and whatever else strikes me as I roam through Sports Basement.
