I Did It!! Yay!!

Up early for the Goldilocks Ride I've been working toward lo these many months. I earned a Medal! (I do believe this is my very fist medal ever!)

The hill was brutal. Most people around me were walking their bikes up. I was determined to ride the entire way and I made it! Lowest gear possible on the bike, huffing, puffing and panting. But I did it! The rest of it was just sheer fun. I heard the meadowlarks and the woodpeckers and just totally enjoyed the ride.

I made good time, too. Finished among the first few in my group - even though it wasn't a race.

Great day for a ride. Great day for making it up the hill. Great day for a medal. Great day!
