My first road ride of the year yesterday was a beauty with Robbie and Keith.

Drove to and started in Bragg Creek. There to Black Diamond, over to Okotoks back on 549/762. Had driven those back roads on the way to Little Bow and always said how amazing they would be on a bike....was not disappointed! Non stop rollers after rollers with wild head and cross winds to keep us honest.

Legs were shattered to say the least after almost 5 hrs riding time, overall very happy considering my longest ride had been 1.75hrs on the trainer.

I think we all had some inspiration riding watching Boonen solo for 50km's in the Pairie Roubaix that morning. While watching the race at home, Marnie kept saying to me ' how come 14 guys cannot pull him back'.....because Boonen is an animal.
