So this was our ride on Saturday... If you can tell what it is... The graph is the elevation that we rode. Jacob and I headed out to conquer Clodfelter (do y'all remember where Clodfelter is) anyway, I've never been all the way up it. So we went up it, and up and up and up... Then we crossed over the top and came down Webber Canyon. Thats the other big climb here. I've never done it cuz I've never thought I'd be able to make it up. So the dip in the middle is Benton City. Then we decided to take on Webber, and so we turned around and went back up, up, up to the top, over and back down Clodfelter. 55 miles total... and a lot of climbing. I burned over 4000calories on that ride. I've never climbed that hard before!
My next big goal is the Seattle to Portland ride, 200 miles, in July, all in one day. So we have to log some serious miles on our bikes. But I think I am up for it!
I was also down 5 pounds this morning from last Monday, that's my weigh in day... which is a total of 28 pounds since last fall. It is finally coming off. Its such slow going that I get discouraged and its hard for me to see the difference, but its obviously happening. I just need to be patient. I feel like I am finally starting to get the hang of it. Better late than never, right?
Happy Memorial Day everyone! Enjoy your day off with your families!

Annette, you're an animal! I'm really impressed. Jeremy wants to do the STP as well, but I don't think he's going to be able to this year.
Congrats on the weight loss.....coming off slowly is frustrating, but I hear it's the healthiest way to actually keep it off.
You are amazing! Brad's out for a ride right now and I'm so anxious for this baby to vacate the premises so I can get my body moving again!
And 28 lbs is awesome, no matter how slowly it's coming off. Hang in there! You're doing great!
Thanks for the support guys! Its so encouraging and helps me stay motivating....
WOW!!! I dont think I can imagine biking 200 miles in a week....and you want to do it in a day! Way to go on the weight loss! It is hard to have kids and try to lose the weight, but you are doing great!
You amaze me! That is awesome! Good luck with all your training. You are such a strong woman!
oh my goodness!! that is so amazing...and 28 lbs???? awesome! i am just complaining about adding an extra 10 pounds just this last month. i am inspired again to work out! good luck!
Wow! That is a very hard core workout! Congrats on the weight loss - you are working harder than anyone I know to get weight off!
wow, you are amazing. and inspirational. and unbelievable. i can't even dream about going that far on a bike! way to go!
hey, the STP sounds like a lot of fun. I was going to do it this year but got to busy with putting in our sprinklers that I didn't have time to get in shape for it. They say you should do a 150 mile ride before you do the STP. Good luck, I'll be watching for the post to see how you did. Do you plan on doing the 1 day or 2 day ride?
