A fun 60 mile ride

Biked 60 miles round trip between falls church and Leesburg on a cool (lower 50f) day to train for my cross US cycling trip.

When reaching Leesburg town center, I caught the end of a running race and a biking race for life. Got a leftover banana, a half piece of chocolate cookie and a small piece cinnamon bread.

After 55 miles, I ran into the Taste of Vienna (fund raising for firefighters), Paid $6 for taste shrimps and flies and then guacamole with 4 kinds of Latin chips. Great tastes and deals but too full to ride the last 6 m home. What a fun day!

Reached my target biking weight

Mowed my yards and just ran 3 m at 9:34 per mile.  Most importantly, I weight below 110 lb now and is going to win a weight loss bet with a friend to get $1,000 on 5/1. Glad to get rid of 15 lb from the carbs I intake during my full marathon training, and now I am light enough for cross US cycling.

I run faster without trying when weight lighter.
