[mimitabby]

rode to work then I rode downtown to attend a fancy luncheon. It was foggy misty the whole way. Getting there was uneventful. and the lunch was so so.
Going home the road was wet and slippery. I heard cars gunning engines as their wheels spun, and i almost lost control of my bike on a wet grating. how scary!
so i took it easy going home....
about 17 miles.

I rode the Ellen Farrant Memorial Bikeway aka Jones Beach bike path which I have been making as my after work ride for about a month now. I wish I thought of this from Spring time as my rides after work were always a route from my house and dealing with traffic from those coming home from work, lights etc. Although I hate to drive to a riding place, I found this to be best for after work.

Although riding the path both ways is only 9.5 miles, I usually ride it twice before the sun is set. Yesterday there was a wicked south west wind, so I only rode it once then rode loops around the park where the path begins to give me 14 miles.

Lack of sunlight is getting earlier and earlier. how sad.

[short cut sally]

18 miles of beautiful riding weather. Unusually warm and sunny for this time of year. I got up rather late and had a later start than usual, trying to get home in time to start lunch for DH. I finished my ride and realized I needed only 12 more miles to break 2000 on my new bike.

I get the record for shortest ride. I met a frequent riding partner a couple of miles from my house and we set out for our usual 30-40 miler. A mile and a half later he broke a spoke in his rear wheel, big. Twang! So I rode back for my car to run him and his bike home. I just wasn't into riding by myself after that. Seven miles. Which was enough for me to justify not doing any cardio after I taught my strength classes yesterday afternoon

Actually ... my commute ride is shorter: 8 km. So your ride was both longer and more exciting.
