This last weekend Saundra and Jenny and I went up to Logan to ride in the Little Red Riding Hood Bike Race. It was such an amazing experience! It was so fun to have a girls weekend, too! The course was awesome with super smooth roads and no huge hills. Although we did spend a few miles slowly going slightly uphill and then we got to speed down a huge hill afterwards as a reward! We did the 58 mile course (which ended up only being 54 miles! I was a little bit bugged about that...) and I averaged about 16.6 mph over the whole ride. I was happy with that. The first 24 miles just FLEW by! I was going 18-21 mph the entire time. There was no wind and the roads were so smooth! The wind started up during the second half and thats where the small hills were so the second half slowed me down a bit. It took me about 3 hours and 15 minutes and I felt GREAT after! I haven't been sore or anything! Next time I want to do the 80 or 100 miles, for sure!
We drove up to Logan on Friday afternoon and stayed at a hotel right on Utah State campus. I think it was old converted dorms, but it was just fine for our needs. We had a dinner at the race site and then went to get some "Aggie Ice Cream" with a token we got with our hotel room. :-)
This is us before we started on Saturday morning.
This is Saun and I at the lunch break. Oh my gosh, they had so much food at each stop. We pigged out! I'm talking chocolate, oreos with peanut butter on them, yummy peanut butter sandwiches (with lots more pb and j than I use at home!), licorice and other good stuff. And best of all, NO guilt was involved all weekend!
We (and our bums) are so happy to be done!

Anorexic Little Red Riding Hood, she should have joined us at the rest stations to put some meat on those bones...
Good job girls! I had so much fun last weekend with you!

Good job, that looks so awesome! What a fun girl's get away. We had Aggie ice cream last summer on our way home from Bear Lake. It was delish.
