May 3

Today was spent recovering from BikeMS. I was so tired at work, but it was totally worth it.

Today was Day 2 of BikeMS. Day 2 is always much harder than Day 1, partially because you've ridden the whole day before and partially because it's a much, much hillier day. But the weather was perfect and we had a good time anyway. Plus I found my sign! (Along the way during BikeMS, they put signs for the top 100 fundraisers in random order, so you never know whose sign it will be.)

It's time for BikeMS! This morning, the weather was a little touch-and-go (what else is new for BikeMS?) and the ride was delayed 30 minutes, but after we got going, the weather was absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, since I spent the week with strep and eating nothing but liquids when I should have been carb-loading, I was pretty weak for this ride. We took it easy and went about half-way today. It was a fun day one.

Tomorrow is BikeMS, so I had to get my bike and jersey ready for the ride. This is the first year I've gotten to wear a yellow number, which is reserved for one of the top 100 fundraisers from the year before.

I finally bought my road bike today!! I'm naming her Lucy (after Lucille Ball). Because she's red. I've been saving for it for a long time, and I also used the gift card I won in the blog contest last year to help defray the cost. I'm so excited to finally have it, and I'm hoping that it will make BikeMS easier this year!
