We have finally found spring, yeeahhhhh. Fri was a great day, I only work 1/2 a day so I hit the mountain after work, it is almost a straight up with a few breaks of flats, whew, I didn't think I would make it, I thought I might even have an asthma attack, but I kept telling myself "quitting is NOT an option", I made it!!! :D I rode just about 14 miles and most of the coming down the mtn was down hill at speeds of 28 mph :eek: but it was great! the best part, I passed 3 guys on mtn bikes :) they were trying to go up with knobby's, that was funny, one guy didn't know I was behind him and the others did when I said passing left he looked at me funny and said I was making him look bad.
Then Sun. I hit the parkway and rode 22 miles various hills the last one did me in I turned around and went back, I was so cold too I could barely feel my toes, I did buy a windproof vest that helped some, the wind was blowing at times so hard that my bike moved a couple of times sideways! most of the time I was between mountains and didn't feel much wind but when I was in the open wooooo hhoooo, I got scared a couple of times. I did have to stop a few times, to drink and blow my nose, I even took my honey stick after an hour - that was a good boost, I plan to use those more often.
Anyone else having decent weather?
