Where have the daily ride threads gone? 09/13

[Veronica]

4.1 miles for my commute.

I went in a few minutes earlier than usual and found myself riding into the sun on the canal trail. No duckies in the canal today. It was cool enough that I kept my jacket on the whole time.

I left on time for a change to come home. I had a lot of my former students waving at me from their cars as they were on their way home from the middle school. It's always fun to see them and try to recognize and remember them.

*Sigh* daily rides have disappeared into 16 hour workdays!

DH left work early so we could go ride. We rode 26 miles stopping in the middle for lunch. Was a beautiful day! I felt amazingly good despite the tri last sunday and the impending tri next sunday. Maybe this cross-training works

Ahhh..I finally managed to get 50km in on my morning ride. I often run out of time & end up doing only 46-47km.. Therefore i'm one happy chickie . That and i did the 50km in 2hrs :08..

Anywho, my ride home tonight should be exciting or might be exciting..The wind is supposed to pick up but who knows! I'll have to wait for the updated BOM forecast at 4:30.

Going to do a group ride tomorrow..first time in a lonnnng time that i've actually biked with anyone!!!

It'll be strange to have to bike around people!!!

As I was out riding yesterday I was thinking to myself that the daily ride thread has sort of become scattered ride days. I rode 42 miles with my riding partner, started out at 45degrees, but sunny. Might have been 55-60 degrees when we finished. There was a change of plans for the afternoon so my original route of 20 miles was increased to 42. It was a crisp, sunny, beautiful day for a ride. Not riding today, saving all my energy for our Highlander cycle tour tomorrow, 100miles.

Thanks for starting the thread today, Amanda! I always like reading about everyone's daily rides.

Yesterday I commuted to my new job (25 miles away) for the first time! Yippee!!!
Ok- so I didn't commute the whole way (who has 2 hours in the dark to ride?). I did a hybrid commute. Drove my car to my LBS 9 miles away, then rode the rest of the way to work.
Morning ride in was peaceful and dark (for most of the way) and uneventful. The afternoon ride was a bit more nerve wrecking with all the traffic (and the "iffy" part of town I rode through was awake and alive with commotion).

If I do it again I'll need to find another route (which means another parking place because from the LBS there's only one way out of downtown).
Oh well- glad I tried it anyway!

Humberto soaked through. I like riding, but not in a Tropical Storm.
