I was so excited about today's ride. This was the last Del Norte BART training ride, so I was happy to join Team Ride Leader ("TRL") Facilitator, Hugo Sosa and co-TRLs Rachel Sandoval Carl, and Jeff Adamus. Angelina Sosa who usually is a TRL helped M with the SAG vehicle and cheered us on. And, because I biked to and from the starting route, I was able to achieve the 104.5 miles.

15 minutes into the ride, I felt the bike slowing down and realized I had a flat in the rear. Rachel, was with me and stayed with me. Thank goodness. She reminded me of what I needed to do, especially since I had only done 1 tire changing workshop and watched 2 other times prior to today. I did quite well and I'm so glad Hugo stopped (he's a bike mechanic extraordinaire), so he helped with putting the wheel back on. I was back on the rode and cycling away.

With the Friday's bike fit, I didn't feel as much back pain as before, so maybe the bike fit was money well spent. I'll know better later when another adjustment is made this coming week.

An exhausting day, but John and I managed to get dinner on the table as soon as I got home. Wish I could write more, but my brain is mush right now.
