20.5 mile cycling ecstasy

At the end of the day after the morning 3 mile run yesterday, James and I cycled 20.5 miles. It was an exhilarating ride over small hills and with the finale being a larger hill that I would not have savored in the beginning of the ride. By that point I was energized and ready for the challenge. I ate up the lactic acid feeling in my legs pedaling harder to make the top. I saw there was more and loved the idea that I had more to do. I made it to the peak. Yeah! and several minutes all downhill. Woohoo! The wind tipping my helmet back, closing my mouth tight (bugs everywhere!). Incredible!
