May 1 Training Ride





101 miles
14.0 average speed
Beautiful day

Underway at dawn - 6:02 am. 52 degrees. Reston, Leesburg, Waterford, Taylors Town, Lovettesville, Hillsboro and Purcellville. Breakfast (#2) in Purcellville at 10:45 and 60 miles into ride. Also stopped briefly in Waterford at corner store and to take pictures of some lambs in a yard. Between Lovettsville and Hillboro I spotted baby goats. Actually, they spotted me and cried out as I rode by. I turned around and went back to check them out and get some pictures. There were 9 of them. Cute. See pictures. They seems starved for attention. Maybe they were just starved period and though I was going to feed them. Nice goat. As nice of goats as I've ever encountered. I wished them well. Ride went extremely well. Felt strong though out and had energy at end of ride. Could have ridden futher, but enough is enough! Home at 2:30 pm. Knees a little sore but okay.
