Yup I am a wimp when it dips below 60!

No, *I* am a wimp when it dips below 60! I opted to stay indoors and try out my new 1upUSA trainer. I got in 55 minutes in my 2007 cardio-improvement program.

Good job, Aggie_Ama, MimiTabby, Lisa, and anyone else who braved the chillier temps!

I was HARD CORE today and rode 12 miles or so all told to get to church and the bike co-op meeting, which I went to instead of the "ride" part of our bike club's annual "Darwin Ride" (are you strong enough to survive a ride in January... or intelligent enouigh not to go?) ... and then rode out to the pot luck, which was further than the 2.4 miles that they went for the ride.
Temperature ranged from 7 to 15 degrees (F) and winds from 19 to 25 mph. Four layers... on that first trip to church I thought "It's finally so cold I'm not warming up my hands..." because they were hurtin' but at the next stop light everything but my pinky warmed up.
(Longest stretch at one time was prob'ly about 3 miles - so not *that* hard core, folks!!! Though that 3 miles took a while into the wind... but I worked it hard with the "breathing hard is *good*! philosophy that hopefully will translate into a few seconds more whittled from that time trial time...)

I was thinking about you today Sue, thinking "there is no way in HELL she's riding today"...again your hard-core self astounds me.

I did 37. meant to do do more, but I had a cut in my tire, so I wound up at the bike shop. When I got home, I noticed that I had a loose spoke on the "old great mare" (my Cannondale road bike). wish I would have noticed it earlier, as I would have them fix it while I was there.

No riding, but DH and I did a 11.4 mile hilly hike in a state park. Fun!!! In the time it took, I could have just about ridden a metric, so I guess it counts for something.

Temperatures made it into the high 30's today but the weather was misty with a breeze that cut right through and the roads wet. My exercise was a 30 minute swim.

I've only ridden outside once this month. I need an outdoor ride before I go crazy (crazier?!?)

No ride, but DH and I went skiing up at Whitetail in PA today. Was raining when we left the house, and we skiied in sunshine all day up at the mountain. Was glorious and we had a great time!
