Ride in the Little Red Riding Hood

First week of June, Danielle and I rode in the Little Red Riding Hood in Logan.  It started out a cool overcast day.  It was perfect temperature to ride.  The first 35 miles were strong.  After lunch it warmed up quite a bit in Cache Valley and that was the hilliest stretch.  It got more difficult.  When it gets difficult I just focus on the little white line running down the road and just pedal.  Like in life after the difficulty comes the blessings which was the steepest hill to descent.  At the top I shifted down, hunkered down and just went for it.  It was great.  I wish I knew how fast I was going.   Not to brag but I passed all the ladies that were also going down.  It was pure freedom and adrenaline.  Unfortunately the 'city planners' put a stop sign at the very base of the hill so you can't continue and shoot passed.  By mile 46 I was done, so it was nice to see the end 4 miles later.  50 miles riding Little Red Riding Hood, check.
