November 4 Rides

[roguedog]

Did a 44 mile ride today with a couple good hills (a 7%, an 8% and short, short 13%). Was nice to have a couple hills even if they kick my butt.

Had a great ride with Bee Lady! We did a 34 mile loop in the hills of Bulverde. Warmed up just enough to pull off the arm and leg warmers half way through. Lauren was great company! Its always fun to ride with a TE gal!!

Met up with AllezGirl and group today for a 30+ mile trail ride. Since I only have a road bike, she was kind enough to loan me a mtb. Thanks AG! I had a great time and am looking forward to riding with you again. Next time maybe I'll have my own bike. Great finally meeting you in person. And yeah, I already hit the hot tub. You kicked my azz, girl!

I rode with my club down to the mission Inn in Riverside. They were going to climb mt Rubidoux afterwards, but I had a meeting I wanted to go to in Pasadena this after noon, so I headed back directly. Leave it to a hill slug to bypass a climb.

I had a wonderful 16 mile ride in our Indian summer weather. The long hill at the beginning of the ride doesn't give me time to get my legs warmed up. Sometimes my knees protest. Riding around town to get warmed up doesn't appeal to me. Our town is in a river valley. No hunters and no wind so an A+ ride.

26 miles and then some assorted errands, so I *might* stay ahead of Laughing Howard at bike journal, but he's shooting for a thousand mile month so it'll be tough!! (I'm afraid I dared him!)

DH and I did a 13 mile ride this morning after breakfast at 35 degrees. Then some friends came to visit with their bikes a half hour after we got back, so we went back out again and did 19 more miles at 45 degrees. Sure was happy to have my new super warm gloves and my new balaclava! I kept nice and warm except my feet- gotta solve THAT problem next.

Lisa, what kind of gloves did you get? I have some regular full finger ones but they're not going to be warm enough soon. (I want a balaclava, or at least afull head cover thingy. My ear cover things weren't quite warm enough last week.)

Wish I could get out on my bike. Well, I wish I could get motivated to get out on my bike...

Barb, go to the thread titled "Ibex Ultimate Guide Sweater" under the "Apparel" category, that's where I talked about the gloves (pages 1 & 2). We were discussing some Ibex/Smartwool sweaters and warm items there.
