Thursday, May 8 Rides

[limewave]

I got up at 5 AM and did my first ride of the season. It was amazing. 15 miles through the woods and along the beach. I didn't see a soul, but I did see 5 or 6 deer and an eagle. And a large ship coming into the channel, that was cool.

It was 40 degrees, 5 mph winds, clear skies.

rain, rain, rain - that's all we have in the midwest. Oh, did I say rain?

Morning Ride here.
I was able to do 17.7 miles on the rural roads with some hills. I just love the peacefulness of it all. Not a lot of traffic, cool morning and nothing but road.

Dampness here, too. Socks are still wet. Bike is under desk. Fenders are nice It's stopped raining for now so the ride home should be drier.

Not sure whether a 1000 mile May is possible or not. Planning an 80 mile day on the 18... but averaging 33 miles a day means a lot of things have to go right. Days like today... we'll see waht it feels like outside. My personal rule is that if I weren't going to ride if I didn't have a silly goal, then I shouldn't ride. And since I'm just a little cold-y and its' drizzly... AND I get to MOVE BACK TO MY HOUSE ... ... I"l prolly just do an extra lap around campus and let the numbers do what they will.

Day #2 for me with the new handlebars, bar-end shifters, and saddle. (Have I mentioned lately how much I love my bike now? )

Bright, sunny, and HOT down here (somewhere around 92 degrees, I think). Gorgeous day to be outside on a bike.

Only did about 10 miles, but for me that's kind of a lot.
