Sometimes just making it home is an accomplishment!

(Also, see my signature tag)

I've just signed up for the 50 mile route of the 2015 Le Tour de Bayou in Alexandria, Louisiana. Given how much riding I've not done this year, I'll need a combination of slowness and practice over the five weekends prior to Sept. 19.

For me, when I got back into more serious cycling, making it home or back to the car was a challenge, and I was avoiding hills. Then, it was making it to the top without walking, that is now accomplished. So, maybe I could change my screen name to not-so-slow. But, fast is not happening any time soon. I ride alone because I like to hold my own pace. It is just far more enjoyable. I get to take pictures when I want, and I stop to drink my water!

So, enjoy the ride, at whatever speed works for you!
