Went on a 25 mile club ride from Conway to Rexville and La Conner. A beautiful zig zaggy ride through the countryside at 26 degrees! We were all laughing about how far below our "ride thresholds" this was. I'd never ridden when it was below 40 degrees, and I still consider that to be a little too cold. It's funny what a difference good company makes though; when I ride alone in the cold my mind runs in a loop about how cold it is, how miserable I am, and how eternal this makes the ride seem. Riding with a group, we're still all complaining about how cold and miserable it is, but it becomes a source of amusement somehow. Oh, and stopping at a nice brew pub in La Conner for a meal in front of the fire also makes a nice difference. Back to Spinervals today. Ho hum...
