I took an hour's ride on the new Bike Friday. It was windy and a bit cold to start, but I warmed up and really like this bike! It felt like I was riding a regular bike, except for the curious looks that passersby gave me. Great ride, big hill was not bad at all.
I took my Sutra on her maiden voyage yesterday completely equipped with the Garmin (also out on its maiden voyage) for my first outdoor ride of the season. I have had an enlightenment on cycling, if you will. :p The weather was beautiful and there were lots of people on the trail. I even saw an older lady with her hot pink folding bike and she looked happy as can be. I ended up doing about 19.5 miles yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic!

Ooopsss... posted this on 3-3-08 thread... I rode on 3-2-08! HA!
Rode 50 miles in wind gusts up to 45 mph. At about mile 48, 3 of us got blown off our bikes. I hit the ground hard on my right side. Bike is fine and I'm pretty OK. Just a little sore.
Honestly, I found it very funny that the wind took us for a ride like that!
Otherwise it was a great ride and even though the wind was like riding into a brick wall at times, I never let it get into my head.
Sounds like you had a great day of firsts!Quote:
