Feb 18th Rides

[Susan126]

Hey hey hey . . . I hope everyone got out today for a ride! Especially you ladies in the northwest! Didn't we have a gorgeous day?! Yesterday Joe and I were freezing the first ten miles of our ride. I was smarter today, I waited for the sun to warm things up a bit before I started my ride! :D I had today off for President's Day. Let's see . . . day off plus sunny day equals a road ride! I didn't have anyone to ride with today (Joe had to work and I couldn't reach my two friends who do ride and my daughter was locked up in our computer room doing homework) so I hit the local trail in Orting, alone but safe. I did an out and back and got 31 miles in. It was just a great ride on such a gorgeous day!

My daughter just asked me about Perry's 5:30 spin class this afternoon. She wanted to know if I was still going?! I told her I may! It's with Perry and his classes are HARD! I haven't missed one yet so yes spin class today too! I'll just add one hour of hard spinning (about 18 miles) to my total mileage today and call it good! :rolleyes:

I got in a grand 2 miles, LOL! Too windy to ride my regular road bike, so I spent 15 minutes toodling around the neighborhood on my (27-year) old commuter, making sure it's up to snuff for riding to campus tomorrow. It suffered a spectacular flat about a month ago and I hadn't ridden it since fixing the tire...........She's now good to go tomorrow morning. Whether I'll be up for riding if it's 35 degrees at 7:00 a.m.---well, that's another question! ;)

Presidents' Day and I had to work....but never fear! I bailed at 1 p.m. and was on the bike by 2:15. After spending a morning not feeling so good, I decided to get out with Michael (almost DH) & a friend. Michael and I left from here on our bikes & picked up our friend at a nearby "town". We rode a wonderful 31 miles. Weather was mostly cloudy and about 55 degrees. Winds were probably about 16 mph out of the west. Great riding - as long as we were heading east!

Yes, it certainly was a gorgeous day here in the NW today. Did a 30 mile group ride on the BG trail (which is starting to feel more and more like riding off-road) down to lake union to have lunch at Ivars. Basked in the sunshine on the way back, pleasantly stuffed with salmon. mmmmm.

Yep, gorgeous today. Just got in a quick 10 miles, but it was worth it to get out in the sun.

15 minutes to quitting time, Raleighdon called me. He'd been riding all day. (yep, ALL day) He dropped our car off first thing in the morning to get new tires and brakes...
Instead of going back to the tire place, he rode home and called me. Did I want to go with him to Tukwila to pick up the car? as in FLAT ride? Sure.

we rode a sunny 10 miles. 13.4 mph. nice.
and then we went to the art store where I bought more supplies.
