you're pretty good Roguedog, maybe it's good (for me) that you live in another state!

I missed Robyn's ride today because I didn't get home from Harris Cyclery until 12:45 and her ride started about then. I did get out at 4:00 pm with dh for an 18 mile ride. It was windy and I was still tired from yesterday, so only averaged 15 mph. Dh got a flat (big staple) near the turn onto our street so I went home, got the car, and picked him up. Then he decided to change the flat by himself. He needed a little coaching (No.! No! No tools to install the tire! Now push up the valve stem. Now check the seating.) Good that he is practicing tire changes.
Oil is good, grease is better.

Way to go, Mims! Fun wasn't it. After a few rides, we want your opinion on the difference.

well, it was all in one day
I did a 300K(190miles) brevet in "only" 18 hours! In between the 11,000 feet of climbing and 20 mph wind, it was a day to remember! Report to follow

60 degrees in MN
My hubby and did our first real ride of the year...on the Glacial Lakes trail that runs from Willmar, MN to New London, MN. Got to hear lots of birds and smell lots of springtime country smells. We stopped for a quick lunch at a cafe on Green Lake in Spicer, then checked out some of the cute shops in New London. 24 miles the first time out, and neither of us is sore! Welcome, spring! We're ducking tornadoes today. Wish us luck.
