I finished the Tour De Cure with my fastest average speed! It was such a nice ride and I was very lucky my husband rode with me the whole time! The first lap was around the Texas motor speed way track. It was pretty awesome and kind of scary if you didn't stay on the flat bottom part on the turns. You don't realize in the stands but those turns are so tilted. I love doing bike races but this one by far is my favorite. All money raised went to American Diabetes Association. Last November I lost my dad and even though he didn't have diabetes any more because of a pancreas transplant we believe the type 1 diabetes caused all the problems that lead up to his death. It was a very hard emotional ride but I know he would of been proud.
This is at the 2nd rest stop with my Mom, Brother, and Sister in-law. They made shirts in memory of my Dad! I just love it and was a great surprise to see them at the stop.
I have another race this weekend it is the Goatneck and I have heard it is very hilly so I opted to do the 27 mile rather than the 41 miler with my husband and friend. It should be a lot of fun hopefully the weather works in our favor and it stays somewhat cool!
