Happy Easter - 28degrees here

[spazzdog]

Happy Easter to you east coasters!

I remember all too well the still cold mornings of spring out that way... gotta tell you, I don't miss 'em

Gonna be in the 70's here today (sorry!). The Easter Bunny's wearing flip-flops and swim trunks

I rode 43 miles, starting about 40 minutes before sunrise. It was about 30 degrees but I was well layered & really didn't feel it. Yesterday's snow is gone, the trail was almost deserted, and it was peaceful. Saw a fox and lots of bunnies. Unfortunately, the wind started picking up the last 15 miles, so I decided to come home (wind chill was in the 20s, and my legs are sick & tired of riding in strong winds). What is it with all this wind? It seems like I've been riding in strong, gusty winds since January!

Yeah, 28 degrees F here as well, with snow flurries and cloudy/breezy. But DH and I layered up good, kept pretty warm, had a good breakfast, and then did a wonderful hilly 2 1/2 hour ride! My legs are burning but they feel good and I didn't get all out of breath for a change.
Now we are home drinking giant mugs of hot cocoa with MANY large marshmallows on top.

Yup, it's Easter and i just finished a very hard 24 miles. we rode from Wenatchee to Leavenworth. we didn't take the straight hwy 2 route, instead we went along the ridges and climbed hills all the way to Leavenworth. Although the weather was nice, there was a @#$@ headwind. and this time i was not on the back of a tandem, i was on my Bianchi with those same legs that just did over 70 miles yesterday.

I have an inclinometer on my bike (analog, kind of like a level) and i have to tell you, it was almost ALL up hill. what seemed like level was 2% grades. then during some of the sparse downhills, the wind was giving us our money's worth.
the views were even better than yesterdays' so this evening i will share some glorious photos.

two of us did not feel like riding the entire 50 mile round and back, so we split. i rode to Leavenworth, she met us in her car there and then i drove back.

That was a serious workout. i'll give you the elevation gain stats later.
this time the wind DID NOT cooperate.

Happy Easter Everyone. This is the first Easter I remember going to church and seeing very few spring bonnets and bright colors. Everyone was dressed warm. Upper 40's here. but pretty outside-sunshine, where's my spring? it was here a week ago. Jenn

Happy Easter, everyone. I'm in St. Simon's Island, Georgia beginning a week long bike tour of St. Simon's and Jekyll Islands. Kinda chilly....50's but should be in the high 60's and love 70's throughout the week: perfect biking weather. I brought my new Trek 2.1 and here she sits leaning against my computer table in the hotel, waiting to rear up and take on the trails tomorrow.

Hope you all had a good day....and are with those you love.
Best,
