December 6 Wed. Rides

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Lisa, you are fortunate to work at home and seem to be able to schedule daily rides into your day. I have to admire your fortitude bundling up and getting out there in the cold and wind. I'm not sure I would do that even if I could!

Thanks 5-1. Believe me, I am deeply grateful every day to be self-employed and working at home. I get to arrange my hours differently than most workers. I may take off for 2 hours in the morning, but then again I'm likely to be found working at my computer at 9 or 10pm too. I am lucky and grateful for my job.
As to my fortitude...it is wobbling right now, still standing, but a bit unsteady on its feet!

I don't know why I haven't been posting about my rides the last couple of days...guess I've been too distracted by the new bike!

I rode at lunch yesterday and while it was fairly warm (in the mid-40's) it was windy and my bike was squirelly (from a too short stem). Bad combination! I had to be very careful and really take my time.

Today I rode the same route at lunch again. It was slightly warmer (almost 50) and wind was from a different direction making it seem less difficult. Plus, with the new stem on my bike, the handling was perfect. I cranked out the 15 mile ride in about 50 minutes!! It felt wonderful and I didn't want to come back!!
