Wednesday Recovery RideMiles: 22.47 August Total: 586.26 This August night was cool and cloudy, but that did not dampen our fun as we rode through the farmland east of Salem.

Even with the hill, my average heart rate was a low 80 bpm but we averaged 15.3 mph. Perhaps Joanne was doing all of the work?
