Well, the 50 mph gusts were just a bit too much for me. I really wanted to ride yesterday, but my last experience in high winds, on my tour in Canada was not pleasant. I don't like being pushed out into the traffic! We also went for a hike. We did 5.5 miles in one of the Acton conservation lands (actually 2, we crossed a road to make the hike longer). There were a couple of tricky stream crossings and it was slippery from Saturday's rain, but it was fun. I took one of my snowshoe poles to help me cross the streams and it really helped. There were 2 ponds on the hike, one with a beautiful overlook and benches to sit on. I am hurting a little bit today!
It's supposed to be 68 tomorrow, so I already brought my cycling gear to school. I will go on a ride right when the students leave and be able to get in at least 15 miles before I have to worry about darkness.
Today, I'm going to the gym.
