Biking Journal 36

Sorry, I forgot to blog yesterday so this is 2 days in one. Anyway, yesterday after the kids left I went on the marathon ride to Buchanan and back. I forgot to look at the temp, but it was suppose to be around 90 degrees but there was a nice breeze so it didn't feel hot. It took me almost 2 hours because the wind was from the NW and I don't know how strong it was but I couldn't seem to maintain much more than 10 mph going there but coming back was definately faster. In fact, Curt thought I was taking so long he went out looking for me because he thought something must have happened to me, but we just missed each other so he ended up going all the way to Buchanan looking for me and I was already home. It was my first ride with my new seat and unfortunatly I did not find it to be very comfortable. But the saleman said to give it at least 100 mile trial, it has a 30 day trial so I can return if it doesn't work out.
Curt and I both had today off so we went down to Aberdeen to see his family. I took my bike along since they have some nice bike paths at Wiley Park. After we had lunch, Curt, Hannah and Tim drove to Wiley Park and I rode my bike there. After I circled the lake and the campground I rode to Storybook Land and found them and we spent some time feeding the goats and then Curt took them to the Twist Cone and I rode back to the house. Later we went and bought a bike rack for the car so we don't always have to try and get it in the back. It was quite warm today but the breeze was nice when I was riding so it didn't feel that hot.
