Easter Rides

[Fredwina]

I did the rail trail on the way to church, I usually see a Rabbit or two, but I guess they were all busy delivering eggs.
Going home, I decided to stop the Epicenter (Baseball stadium) Nick Adenhart (the pitcher for the Angels who died in a DUI accident Thursday Morning) Played for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in 2006:




to end on a lighter note:

DH and I did 25 miles today on part of the CRW Saturday morning route. It was 42 degrees with a 20-30 mph wind, so we only averaged 12 mph. Glad to be back in the house- having some hot chocolate as a recovery, then going to dye some easter eggs later!

I was out for my first ride of the season. We took it easy and circled the lakes near my house and also followed the creek for a bit. All my slacking over the winter has left me sorely out of shape and I'll be feeling all 10 miles tomorrow!

No pics today. I'll have to remember my camera next time, although with the trees still bare it's not very scenic right now. Hopefully we'll have leaves and buds soon!

20 miles - half into a 20 mile wind, the other half was wonderful! 17.5mph overall average.

I had planned a 22 mile loop (followed by a 5k run) but the route started directly into a fierce headwind and was kicking me hard. I ended up turning it into an 18 mile out and back. 13-14mph out, 17-20mph back. The run was hard, too.

I was supposed to get out and do 30 as per my training plan, but it's been raining all day long. I could do it on the trainer, but I just can't stand sitting on the bike for 2.5 hours inside. Ick! I'll try to squeeze it in tomorrow after work.

Glad you ladies (and Mr. Silver) had good rides today. As always, great pictures, Fredwina.

I went to air my tires this morning and found I had a slow leak. So I called the ride leader to wait for me. They leave on the DOT of 8 a.m., and even though I made it to the start by 8:01, I would've had to chase them for two or three miles if I hadn't called.

I had to kind of hammer to get there with no warm-up. So they put extra hurtin' on me. It wasn't quite the thrashing we got last Sunday, but the faster riders are obviously here to stay. (Another rider remarked it was probably God's punishment on us for not going to church this morning. I responded that I still have to ride another 10 miles RT on the hybrid to get to the afternoon service!)

I made it all the way without getting dropped, then literally 100 yards from my house I got ANOTHER flat. I'll just count my blessings that it didn't happen as soon as I turned for home, three miles out, since I'd already used my spare tube. 53 miles.

I can't even remember the last time I had two flats in one day. Even though technically the slow leak would've started on Friday, I can't remember the last time I had two flats on consecutive days either.

I feel your pain... pouring rain, well at least pouring drizzle, here too - 2:15 on the trainer with "hill" repeats. I'm sick of this weather.
