Anyone thaw out enough to ride again today? Brrrrrr!!

I decided to go for a little ride and got 7.76 miles in. I looked a little dorky with mini goggles but hey, it's a workout, right?

it's 65F today, did a short 6.5 mile hilly loop, then spent 80 minutes on the trainer while watching the patriots.

Sigh. My bike is at the shop getting it's tuneup. But won't it be nice when it's all spiffed up!

It was a little on the cool side, I think it was about 30. I decided to head out for a 10 mile ride but was feeling great so I extended it to 27 miles. Had a great time.

I managed to get in 22 miles on a windy cold day. Not a lot, but felt virtuous given the weather. I could/would have done more, but DH phoned that he was in and cold so I let him pick me up.

Our morning club ride was cancelled, and 4 of us showed up for the afternoon club ride. It was in the 40s w 15-20 mph winds. I made the mistake of not wearing my new wool. I had it on, and did a test ride in my neighborhood after making some bike adjustments, and decided that I was overdressed. But it was much windier where we were riding from so I really wished I had brought it. Oh well, next time.....

Managed 21 miles after almost a week off the bike due to some kind of bug. Temps were in the high 30s and I did get drizzled on a bit. Did my usual tour of the lovely Interurban trail and was thrilled to note that the infamous pedestrian/bike bridge to nowhere (over I-5) is in the process of acquiring ramps. YAY! That will mean that cyclists will no longer have to brave crossing (against traffic, on the sidewalk) three extremely busy and dangerous on/off ramp lanes to get across the highway. Also rode past a group of kids poking around in a ditch near the Alderwood mall with a King 5 news camera and Bernard Choy reporting live from the scene. I'll have to watch the news and find out what that was all about...

I toodled on the Burke Gilman after the LBS did a little work on my commuter. (I paid them in beer.) Just 4 miles. Rode to Gasworks and looked out over Seattle and south Lake Union and a float plane taking off.

The sun was shining on Queen Anne hill and it was just lovely.

I watched DH compete in a Duathalon- it was 31 degrees at the start but sunny and no wind. After that I came home and slept most of the afternoon, I have been worn out and just listened to my body.

I did our club's women's only ride. Got in about 23 miles

**Brandy** · 01-20-2008, 04:35 PM

I did not ride today do to the massive remodeling project taking place in my kitchen. What a mess! My legs needed a day of rest for I've not taken a day off my bike since Dec 30th. I'll return to the trainer tomorrow for it is just to darn cold outside for this weather wimp.
