April Fools Ride Reports

Sounds like a wonderful ride, UK Elephant!

I went out to do a short, easy recovery ride today. I rode a slow 15 miles and simply enjoyed the warmth of the sun! I only wish the wind had not made this ride so hard on the way home. All in all it is a great day to be outside. Guess I'll venture out now and mow the grass (I hate yard work).

I had a great ride this morning--54 km with some nice climbing/descents. Max speed: 50 kph I left early to beat the traffic (there is always traffic on the best roads here), so it was a bit cold (it's fall here, not spring). I was out for two and a half hours, which is my longest ride since I started back in January. I'm very pleased.

I did a test ride of my route to work on my commuter bike. Wow, it definitely is different than my road bike. Rode about 20 miles (no computer on that bike) -- 10 miles there and back. Learned a few tweaks I still have to make to the bike but the route went well although my muscles are very tired now.

I saw two cardinals and a blue jay. Very pretty. And the rain held off.

This morning the temp was 37 degrees! oh man, that's cold! and windy!
There were big patchs of blue sky and so I met Tiegyr and her boyfriend
and we all did a quick spin down the River trail got to kent and turned around and came back. THe weather forecast said 6mph winds, but according to Noaa, it was 18 mph! BRRRR
and Tiegyr was in shorts and shorty gloves. She's a tough strong rider..and has a beautiful Orange Orbea!

21 miles according to my computer, 23 according to hers.

25 miles, 38-45 degrees. My very first and pretty low key official "club ride"...see other thread for how it went.

31 miles this morning with dh, 16.8 mph. Temp was 50F at the start. We rode up to Concord and did the Lowell, 225, Monument loop, then home. Later I went canoeing and now I want a nap, except I'm hungry.

I didn't get out until about 2:30, since i was cooking for Passover (my favorite holiday). We did somewhat the same route as Deb mentioned, but the loop part is about 15.7 miles from my house, so we added a bit more through Carlisle and rode 19.8 miles. All of a sudden, I felt very strong, my legs didn't hurt, and neither did my lungs. I wonder if it's from the hill climbing ride I did yesterday. Everything felt easy today. My husband was tired and I pulled him for the way home. I also managed to get up the steeper side of my street, which is nice, because then you get a downhill that helps you get up the driveway.
