8 miles. I took the direct route to work this morning. My legs weren't feeling great and I was tired, so I am glad I chose the short route so I can save myself for some climbing tomorrow.
39 for me today, first ride in two weeks. My legs have just been sore all week but my pace didn't seem to suffer (much). Once again there were two sandhill cranes right by the road. Those birds are amazing - 4 feet tall with a bright red forehead. It didn't even faze them when we went by.
I'm glad I got out - I almost didn't go. DH is suffering with a really terrible cold, and it's trying to catch me. (I refuse to say I catch a cold, it's the other way around! "Catching" is a voluntary action. I definitely believe that the language we use helps define how we think about illnesses, and how we think about them affects how they affect us!)
I used my sample of Beljum Budder and I highly recommend it! I'll have a full review up as soon as I do the laundry and have my last data point!
11.3kms (about 7 miles I think).
With my life-partner, and our youngest son. Easy flats, slowly. Just what I needed a day before my Saturday race.
But it was very very hot... 34'C (about 91'F I think?)
I have said to my youngest I enjoyed riding with him so much on the first of January that we should ride together every 1st of the month this year.
That's really cool RR. How old is your youngest?
I had the day off. I was going to go mountain biking at Claremont, But one of my co-workers passed away, and his memorial service is tomorrow. I usually to do at least one "long" ride a week, so I decided to go the Cajon pass(Yes, Mongo still hate to climb, but Mongo practice to hate climbing less ;) )
about a kilo form my house:

I then rode on the rail trail , but I had a detour around "lake Pacific Electric" ( a large puddle that forms when it rains).
I ran into to my friend Bruce climbing up Duncan Canyon Road in Fontana, We talked about our fleche.
I then climbed up through Devore, and got on old route 66:

I climbed up to about 3,000 feet until 66 runs, and then started back. Had to fix a flat :(
I stopped and bought my Train pass for this month, and then rode by thes old winery:

Went to put a payment on the Roubiax I have in layaway, and bought some new tires and tubes:o

I love having sons, they are all (4) so awesome.
