Great report, Kalidurga. Sounds like you had a great ride! Congrats on your first organized ride- I always have so much fun when I do one (and it's so nice not to have to bring my own drink and food and get to "feast" every 10-12 miles).
DH and I decided to ride the trails today. Doggone 6th day of sustained winds at 20-30 and I'm sick of getting beaten by the wind on the road. Rode 13 miles of some pretty technical singletrack. Had a great time.
Only had the camera phone, but here is DH climbing a tough, steep little incline. This was taken just before he hit a stump and fell. hee hee

went about 8 miles in the park pulling my 4 yo son in a trailer with my folding bike. It's the first time I've pulled the trailer with this bike, and I really felt it back there. The only other times I've pulled it were with full sized bikes, and it seemed like I couldn't even feel the trailer back there. It was a beautiful day, though.

I was going to check out one of my perm routes today. some is going to ride next week, and they're were doing some construction. However we had Santa Ana winds, which were fun (not!) I had to walk my bike across a bridge to keep from getting blown over! I went under a freeway, hit a rock, and got a flat. I saw some billowing clouds, which I just thought were dust devils. Turns out, it was a wildfire on my perm route
, so I came home with 20 miles.

It's the height of beautiful red/gold autumn here in upstate NY, and DH and I did a lovely 25 mile ride on the back country roads this morning after breakfast. Everything is rustling and crisp!

I opted out of riding today because of the wind. Can't wait to get that MTB.

Did 51 miles,3400' gain and am BEAT! led this ride as a 'B' . This is same one that I did on 8/31 @15 mph. Today I worked so hard and managed only 14 mph. A beautiful fall day in PA but what a come down. In August I had 900 mi/month;Sept 515 mi;So far in Oct w/o today's ride....105mi. What was I thinking?? Life was getting in the way of biking this month and this has got to stop(actually it did as of this week so hopefully I can recoop what I lost(or gained) since Aug!!!
