Getting the heck outa Dodge

Had planned to leave this morning. Why always so hard to get out of town? Sitting here with my babies, my dogs Rudy and Gretchen, their heads resting on my legs. Hard for me to leave them for two months.
Dad is driving to Virginia with me and we would like to play tourist for a day or two before the ride. I'm especially interested to see Colonial Williamsburg. Need to get back to packing now.
Saturday after St Patrick's

Another great day riding. It was cold this morning. Started out with a group of mostly Memphis Hightailers I think on "Vic's Ride" from the Lakeland Factory Outlet Mall. Same as last week in that as soon as we hit a hill, I fall back. So I lost the group after a few miles. Never let it be said that West Tennessee is flat.

Ending up riding with Bruce Friedman who was a good companion and riding at my pace. We ended up doing 55 miles. Legs were weak, rubbery, and some pain and discomfort as the day went on. But I guess this could be described as a good kind of pain.
