With temperatures in the 40's and no responsibilities until the afternoon I couldn't resist getting out for a ride. I mostly had the roads to myself. It was windier than I like, but I pushed 17 miles as hard as I could.
Merry Christmas to all!

No ride here, the neighborhood streets are still snow covered and icy. The main roads are good however.
I haven't ridden since Thanksgiving but the skiing is wonderful!

I got up around 8am ,and it was raining slightly ,and in the upper 30s. As I was about 2 miles into the ride it starting pouring , and continued for the rest of the 27 miles. I sure am sick of riding in the rain every day. My feet ,and hand were numb ,and I was having trouble changing the gears. It wasn't windy just rainy. I WANT THE SUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I got home my husband had bacon.eggs ,and hash browns cooking.
Happy Holidays to all . I will be drinking eggnog ,and run tonight.

Got out for a nice 10 mile mtn bike ride. Weather here as been unseasonably warm lately. Today's high was 52 I think.
I pretty much abandoned my mtn bike over the summer and it's great to get back on the trails. Now, I miss riding my road bike though! Have to get the trainer set up soon.

Sounds like you ladies have had some fun today!
It was cold, so a friend and I went for a mtn bike ride today on the wind-protected trails. Rained Wed. and the trails were still pretty tacky and muddy. I felt like a REAL mtn biker today (not just a roadie poser like I really am) becuase my bike and I were both a dirty mess when we were done. It was muddy, wet and way too fun. Got lost, took an unmarked trail- jumped over two creeks with my bike- slipped like crazy in the mud, re-built two bridges that washed out, got lost in the trees, couldn't clip in because of the caked mud on my shoes, had to ride fixed gear because my bike was too dirty. It was a GREAT ride! (did I mention that I'm LOVING my mtn bike?)
Now, if it would ever stop being cold- I'll actually ride my road bike again. We'll see...Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com
