I've been pretty quiet this year so far. But, we'll see if I can get back in the swing now.
This was week 5 of our training. The kids had solo and ensemble competition, so they got to sleep in. Stephen and I got up at 5 and headed north to Willis, TX. Willis is near Conroe. The ride started at 8 and we pulled into the parking lot shortly after 7. We'd reviewed the map on Friday night and assured ourselves that our first ride with hills would be full of ROLLING hills. Silly us. The hills rolled some, but mostly they stretched. We worked really hard!
It was warmer than all of our previous rides have done this year, but it was damp and just windy enough that I kept my jacket on for most of the ride. Still, going up hills warms you up pretty well. I unzipped the jacket going up hill and zipped it back up going down!
We saw lots of cows and horses, a bunch of chickens and a whole field full of daffodils! (SPRING must be coming!!) We decided that the road with all the potholes and cracks must have been in the unincorporated part of Willis...
37 miles of hills and some icky road surfaces. Great company.
