A Solo Pedaller

This weekend was a stay-at-home, no travel rest time for me. Sean traveled with the Georgia Southern Cycling team to a race in Florida. The team did well and Sean got 4th in the men's open race. It was nice for them to avoid the frigid air, even in the Boro, and get some race miles in. I stayed behind to ride Saturday in the very cold temperatures. Thanks to the local guys for moving the start time, hoping for a warm-up. I will admit a few hours was enough riding for me. Sunday was a rain day in which Sean and I went to the gym. I was suckered into a game of racquetball with Sean and Jared (a collegiate cyclists) and spent most of the game ducking from the ball. I realize my talents aren't on the racquetball court. Considering it was only my second time playing ever, they kept the jokes to a minimum. Monday we joined up with friends from Savannah for a long ride. Feeling tired from the gym, I managed to stay with the group. I realized just how much I pedal solo, even though I am riding with other cyclists-because most of them are guys. I miss my girls in Clemson and Greenville and cherish our group rides. I am anxiously awaiting the start of cycling season to catch up with everyone and get in some girl rides. Looking forward to some warmer temps this coming up weekend. Until then stay warm!
