Posers

We did it!  We joined a bike group!  This is unusual behavior for us as we typically do not go out of our way to meet people.  This group is great though.  We fit right in with our spandex padded shorts, our bike jerseys, and our clip-in shoes.  I like to think of us as posers.  We look the part pretty good though.  The first long ride we did was 26 miles.  The group was impressed that we were able to do this. I think it helped that we were still in shape from the marathon in May. 
I am still super slow though and struggle keeping up with the "SLOW GROUP"."  We are learning the bike lingo which is helpful when you want to stay alive on the roads, especially in Charlottesville.  The more we bike the more we aren't sure this sport is for us.  There seems to be a LOT of sitting down.

 Mom and Dad bought us cool new jerseys to help enable our poser status!
