This morning my family and I did the Riverside Citrus Classic 7 mile Family Fun Ride. Robin and the girls did it on their bikes and I rode my Muni. This was the longest distance I have done. The farthest I have gone before today was 5 miles and that was with a lot of rest stops. I did this one in and hour and forty minutes with one 10 minute stop at the pit stop for water, trail mix, and oranges. Since the streets weren’t closed to traffic I had to stop at several lights and used that time to rest my legs and walked across the intersections.
Arriving at the finish. Just one block earlier I was entering a into a shaded spot. The pavement had been lifted up by a tree root and I didn’t see it. I UPD’d landing on my hands and knees. My leg armor saved me from what could have been a nasty injury.
At the finish being interviewed by a reporter for the Riverside Press Enterprise newspaper.
