Picture This: Along The Trail

Saw these cyclists as I was loading my bike and later on as I was heading to meet Ena at the STL Riverfront Trail. The cyclists were in such a good mood and why not? It was a gorgeous day for a ride. Ena and I had not set out to do 22 miles but the weather was perfect and the sun was showing off and there's just something magical about being on a bike and being by the water.

I sure don't feel like doing anything right now -- not cooking or anything. Bring out the proverbial fork -- not to eat (unless you've cooked) because I am done.

What did you do today? And a curious mind wants to know what's the longest you've ever bicycled or swam or...? Any Ironwomen or Ironmen out there among us?


Postscript: Ena got some great shots of the bridge. I like her photo of me riding for two reasons: she took it while riding her bike (Ena, great coordination) and the picture also allows me to see the progress that I've made.

  1. Oh - no Ironwoman here! I did swim a mile once last summer. It was in the pool and it took me an hour. I was exhausted for the next two days!!

    Your bike ride looks amazing.

  2. Diane,

    I really enjoyed the bike ride and I'm looking forward to a repeat performance as soon as I can get my hands on a block of time AND provided the weather cooperates. :)

    I have yet to swim a mile. I got close once. Now, I have to work my way back up to that point again. It'll be fun trying though...
