Mustang Sally rides again!

Last week, Sally was finally reunited with Mustang (her bike) after weeks apart. Her accident at the beginning of December, left both of them badly damaged. Sally needed rest, repair and recovery...Mustang needs were in the repair and parts department, which was a longer and more frustrating process than expected.

Our first couple of rides, were paced and planned at her comfort level, since she hadn't ridden Mustang in weeks. All the things she told me she might not be ready for before the first couple rides, we worked through and she accomplished. It is great to see her confidence slowly coming back after each ride. We always have fun and are able to push and challenge each other, as we strive to become better cyclists. Of course, we are both talkers so there is always a lot of stories, sarcasm and laughter to make the time go by quickly.

Getting in training rides around the holidays and winter weather isn't always easy...but we were able to find the time and enough layers to make it happen. We knew that after the holiday's our training and team rides were going to be increased...so Sally wanted to feel prepared and ready for this Saturday (her first team ride since the accident) ride. We mapped out some additional loops and have been enjoying riding in some new areas. So far this week we have already logged over 65 miles (its only Wednesday) and with our Saturday ride we will have easily ridden over 100 miles in a week...its an exciting milestone to accomplish! One of many more to come in our training process.
