3rd RAIN ride completed

Hi folks--
I just wanted to update you. A few weekends ago I completed my 3rd Ride Across Indiana (RAIN). I finished the 160 mile journey in 11 hours and 11 minutes (including stops). It stormed on us the first few hours and then got really hot and muggy. Not an ideal day, but still a good ride. I continue to work on dropping the few pounds that I picked up over the winter. I'm within 5 pounds of my goal again, so I'm feeling pretty good. Still sticking to SugarBusters and keeping a close eye on portions as well as squeezing in as much exercise as possible. I'm teaching a night class this summer so that cuts in to my cycling time. It'll be over in another week and I should have more time on the bike, then.

Today I'm doing a "pic nic" ride with my daughter. We'll do 11 miles together and then have lunch with a bunch of folks from the local cycling club (www.cibaride.org). Should be a good time.
