49 miles!!!

We made it!  The September birthday ride is in the books for another year.  Perfect day, perfect spot, perfect course, and perfect friends.  It was totally great. I actually thought I would be more tired than I am but who knew!  I didn't anticipate that my legs would be so tired and I didn't anticipate that my lower back would be aching like it is.  I also didn't anticipate the pain between my shoulder blades or that my feet would be hurting so much.  I didn't anticipate having this much trouble just standing from a sitting position or in sitting from a standing position. I haven't laid down yet but I am almost sure that I would be able to get back up.  Well, eventually.  Other than those few things I guess I was largely unaffected by that the whole ride.  Who knew?  We don't have any pictures to show because Scott was taking them and we discovered too late that he had the camera lens turned toward his face instead of at the target.  But Hey! We made it!
