Tour de Palm Springs Recap
As we were driving out friday after work and the rain poured down on us, I was weary that it was going to be a soggy weekend. Thankfully saturday morning was just absolutely beautiful. There was a crisp chill in the air but the sun came out to play. We had a large group of friends who all came out for this ride, which always makes any event so much more fun. The course rides pretty fast as Palm Springs is mostly flat. There were a couple of hills which I attacked and did well on the climb. I can't wait until there is much less of me to pull up those hills. I'm very proud of my performance on this ride. My legs felt very strong for most of the ride. I guess all my cardio workouts are starting to pay off. Now I have to work on endurance as my husband won't let me get away with doing the shorter courses for much longer. He's got his eye on 50 mile and 100 mile rides in the near future.
