Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Bicycle ride is put on by The Bonneville Cycling Club. It is a fully supported, non-competitive, Women only cycling event. With 18, 35, 57, 80 and 100 mile distances, there is a ride for everyone. This year I rode 80 miles and it went so much smoother than last year. The weather was gorgeous and it was a great day for riding. It makes the ride so much nicer when the weather cooperates.
Average speed: 15.4 MPH
Highest speed: 37.4 MPH

Here I am dressed and ready for the starting line.
This is a picture of only a few of the women in the race. It has a cap of 3000 women and this years registration was full within 29 days!
I had to take a picture of the decent weather because I didn't think it was going to last.
Here I am at half-way!! Wahooo!!! I was so excited to be at this point.
I had a leak in one of my tubes and the nice support staff gave me a free tube and changed it for me! It is so nice to be pampered on this ride. I felt like Lance Armstrong with my own personal support staff.
I met up with some of my old co-workers from LDS ICU and it was so good to have a riding companion. We rode the rest of the ride together until they had to split off and finish the 100 mile loop! It was so nice to see a familiar face and to catch up with old friends.
This is me about 2 miles from the finish line and I was ecstatic! Wahooo! I'm so proud of myself!
