Just got home from an easy 29 miler. Still working on endurance base, so no hills yet other than some rollers. Took a tick under two hours. Only stoppage time (eight minutes total) was for the many lights along Foothill Expressway, aka the Spandex Highway. Lots of folks out riding and enjoying the mild temps (high 50s) and sunshine. Perfect riding weather after the cold spell we've had here in the Bay Area.

Raining and 40F here, windy too! I ended up riding for three hours then soaking in the tub with the jets.

Hey, good for you, Fredwina.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

Kind of cold (33 degrees) but extremely windy with gusts up to 40 mph. Layering kept me acceptably warm but I decided to surrender at 36 miles. In my opinion, riding in constant, challenging headwinds counts for bonus miles.
It was a superb strength/LT workout, though. Snow is predicted for Sunday into Monday, so I want to get my miles in despite the cold/wind since I'll probably be joining Coach Troy on my trainer for at least a few days.
