Windy 26 mile ride

We hesitated with the wind & all about even going out but in the end it was just Terri & me. (Chris had to head to Kansas unexpectedly.)
We rode from our neighborhood out to 5 points in the Motlow area, then to Ledford mill, then Flowertown road, out to Tara, Macon, & then back to the 'hood. I looped my block to get it to 26 miles. My only complaint was my left shoulder getting too tight. I had to stop several times to stretch it out.

We're talking about doing "Leaves of Lincoln" on Oct 4th. The shortest ride is 30 miles & I know I can handle that after today's little ride. I don't see me getting the frog speedplay pedals by then but I think I can handle riding in my trail shoes for the time being. After the pedals come in, I'll have to spend some time practicing getting on/off. I don't want to do a "ride" before I'm comfortable with them.
