Rides Dec. 10th

[Crankin]

Did anyone else ride today?
I did about 20 miles, didn't start until about 3, so it was probably my coldest ride of the year; about 36 when I started and 32 at the end. Had my chemical foot warmers and hand warmers in, and used the lights for most of the ride.
My new winter road shoes got here today! It was a chore to find winter road cycling shoes in my size (37). I found them in the UK, for 1/2 off.
So now, I definitely have to ride tomorrow, after DH puts the cleats on. It will be a brisk high of about 35.

Yup first time this week. About 18 km. or less. Grocery shopping, visiting my favourite creme puff place.

There's still abit of ice on the road edges. About near freezin' temperatures. We had a snow dump over 1 wk. ago.

Probably will get more by next weekend. So every opportunity now..!

I'm chicken to risk crashing my new, $2000+ road bike on the still somewhat icy roads etc. My crappy bikes have slicks, too.

I'm already tired of riding on the trainer lol.

It only just topped 30 degrees today. Too cold for me.

Rode 14 miles, ending just after dark. It was 41°F with a wind. I had to ride because a friend gave me these (yes, the full dozen), and with the kid away at school, I'm alone in the house with them!

Fortunately, it is a little warmer here- after our chilly start to the week, temps were more normal for Arizona. We started out around 8 am and it was in the mid-40's but it was above 60 when we finished at 11 am. Glad I didn't wear the thermal long sleeved jersey- I would have been roasting on the way home!
41 miles past the San Xavier Mission south of Tucson and back. As usual I was frequently left behind, but one of the stronger riders turned around and rode with me for about 8 miles when I fell off the group. I think I will make 4800 for the year- 250 to go and winter vacation starts next Friday afternoon!!

The alarm went off at 5:25, and I got right up after a great night's sleep, only to see it raining. That normally wouldn't stop me, but since the lbs ride was going an unfamiliar route with a big hill, I opted to stay in my stress free bed a little longer. It was the right decision.

I'm curious to hear if anyone turned out for it. Last couple of times it rained, it was me and 2 others, and that's it.

Can you send a bit of your weather up here, or can I come down there?

Winter hasn't actually started yet and I'm sick of it already. Can we skip everything until March?
