    Very spring like today (60-70's) but breezy with 20 mph winds. I have been really exhausted lately so I talked DH into only doing my favorite 24 miler. The headwind was really tiring but we arranged it for a tailwind home, felt pretty good but I am glad that is all I did. He went out for another 13 mile loop which always works nice for him to go hammer.

    Last Day of January - Beautiful!

    I couldn't believe my eyes this morning! The sun was out and the sky was a gorgeous blue. I left for a ride at 10:48 (temp was 37) and finished at 2:23 PM (temp was 50). I had a great ride. I hope tomorrow will be a repeat.

    I got a nice 37 miles on today's ride.

    I'd asked the LBS to special order my favorite chain lube, Pedro's Go! Nobody stocks it around here. That's the good stuff. They got it in, so I rode up to get it. I didn't ride yesterday because it was raining, cold and miserable, so it was good to get out today.

    The weather report had been calling for a stiff headwind on the way up, and a tailwind on the way back. But it had shifted around, so I mostly had a crosswind the whole way. It wasn't too bad. 35 miles RT. Dangit, I wish I'd realized I only needed 11 more miles to turn over 500 for January.
