Metric Century

This past weekend was the Wine Country Century Bike ride! Derrick and I left for Santa Rosa Friday evening, checked in for the ride and arrived at our campground around sun down. We set up our tent real quick, ate dinner and then went to sleep. We are old and boring ;). And we also had a 62 mile bike ride in the morning.
We overslept but still managed to get to the ride on time. It was absolutely beautiful. Mountains and vineyards, woods, cool old bridges...
The ride wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. My legs held up surprisingly well. My neck and my butt were definitely in the most pain at the end of the ride. At around 9 miles from the end there is a huge hill. Well, it seemed huge at that point. You go up and see a curve so you think - maybe its over at the curve! Nope. I got around the curve and there was just more hill :) But I made it all the way up without stopping or dying! The rest stops were my favorite part :) There was fruit and cookies and chocolate and sandwiches, water and gatorade - very well supported.

On a deeper note, I'm so lonely! I am having such a hard time making friends out here on another planet (as my mom calls it ;) ). I have lab people but they are either 1-male 2-married 3- both 4-already have there established set of friends. Not that I have anything against being friends with male married people but I live with a male married person and he is plenty for me thanks :) I am trying to get Derrick convinced on going to a young couples sunday school class but he is not convinced yet. Maybe I should just start asking random people "will you be my friend?" ;) So anyway, for you praying people out there, pray that I will find some female, christian friends! please :)
