great Marblehead Lighthouse - Skunks :-) 75.56 km 02:41 17.5mph pace

I THINK I might sound like a BROKEN record... But it was yet ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL morning on Lake Erie! The temps were 70 degrees, SUNNY skies and winds at 5 mph... It DOESN'T get much BETTER than that :-) I ENJOYED this ride very MUCH... I got to see the SUN-rise, plenty of birds CHIRPING, the traffic was light and the lake was looking STUNNING :-) I even got to see about FOUR SKUNKS starting to cross the road in front of me... Needless to say, I HIT the BRAKES and stayed out of their way, LOL :-) That sure got my heart RACING! It was just some beautiful riding... LOVED it!

I woke up BRIGHT and EARLY at 5AM to be able to get my ride in before the start of the day. I had my breakfast of a Clif Bar and Diet Mountain Dew, changed into my cycling gear, prepped the Madone and I was READY to HIT the ROAD! It was dark when I left, but I knew the sun would soon be rising... What a beautiful sight! I didn't push too hard again on this ride... Just wanted to enjoy myself :-) My speed was just slightly faster then yesterday and was above 28 km/h... So I'm HAPPY :-) It felt WONDERFUL to get the legs MOVING, the heart BEATING and the mojo FLOWING on some open roads to JUMP-start my day and put that smile in my face! Now it's time to get ready to enjoy the day... Looking forward to the last night of VBS at our church, it's been an AWESOME week for those KIDS learning about God... Amen :-)

Today's ride stats were: Ascent 951 feet (RideWithGPS.com), average heart rate 133 bpm, maximum heart rate 154 bpm, average cadence 83 rpm, maximum cadence 108 rpm and max speed 40.63 km/h. I hope that everyone enjoys their workouts today! Have a great day friends and HAPPY FRIDAY!

    So how hight did your HF go when sighting those skunks? ;-)
    It's so lovely to see you enjoy just taking everything in while riding your bike outside.

    Great ride Dale, glad you stopped in time to let the skunks pass by. You don't want to take in chances with a skunk because a mistake would make it hard to get back into your house or put in a day at the Rx. If you want something smelly just stop by "The Cheese Haven".
