DH and I took the cue sheets from our local "burn the turkey" ride planned for next Friday and did the 51 mile route a few days early (on our own). It was good terrain, but the route spent too much time on busier roads than we would normally plan. My legs were lead from all the yardwork on Saturday, but I'm glad we got out and did it anyway. It was about 50 degrees and sunny for most of the ride, so I enjoyed myself!

November 19th ride
As I was headed out yesterday afternoon, I heard a “plinking” noise on the leaves by the side of the road, and also off my jacket. After a minute, I realized it was SLEET! It was in the mid to upper 30s, but I chose to keep going, and went out for a quick 10 miles, with intermittent sleet and drizzle. I was dressed appropriately for it, and it was a brisk, but exhilarating ride. I had rosy cheeks the rest of the evening (that’s facial cheeks, although I didn’t really check out the other cheeks!)
