12/24 - Christmas Eve - ride

[KathiCville]

I got in a very pretty 11 miles on one of my favorite roads, giving me a grand total of 702 miles for the year on my road bike. (My first year back on a bike in about ten years.) My goal was 700, so I'm a happy gal..........

Perfect day here in Central VA----60 degrees, no wind, sunny, Blue Ridge mountains as the backdrop. If the weather remains cooperative, I might try to add another 25 mi before New Year's Day.

P.S. on 12/25.......Santa brought me a helmet headlight, cleats (my first!) and a bunch of chemical warmers---yahoooooo!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

DH and I got in 27 miles before going to two different set of family gatherings. I am glad we do Christmas exchange early since I got to try my new long sleeve jersey, smart wool socks and knickers. I was layered even more than that and for once I was warm! It was sunny, low wind and upper 40's. What a beautiful day and I finally got to enjoy cooler temps instead of being miserable.

I went out on the bike wiht the Christmas tree and cranked out 13 miles in the a.m. for a wake-up ride, then another 8 or 10 running errands, and then 30 more doing distance-into-the-wind on the prairie, and then extended the church commute to make it add up to a metric. Fortunately the exertions didn't mess up my singing Hopefully tomorrow I can get my Trek for a stretch from the LBS... and it'll get above freezing today and most of the rest of the week. (Riding is serving as the social equivalent of a football game - I get to retreat from rambunctious children to go pursue my passion... they just don't have to put up with noise with it )

I went for a mountain bike ride in our foothills, there was still a good amount of snow and ice, so I rode very slow. I was out for a couple of hours and really enjoyed, it gave me a chance to see all the beautiful deer and runners!
