Two short rides for a total of 26. Hoping to go long tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day and the three after that just to shoot for the big 10K... the weather has nicely moved the snow showers to the night time! Today was wonderful at 45 F (what's that - about 7 C?) with 10 mph. Tomorrow even less wind *and* I can maybe get my lighter bicycle from the LBS for a stretch

I did 44 miles down to Baldwin park and back. would have down more, but I picked a sheet metal screw in my tire in Covina
and wasn't sure how the tire would hold.

DH and I snuck away from our family guests this morning for a 20 mile ride before I had to cook christmas dinner.
It was grey and about 37 degrees F. Managed to stay warm enough until the very end of our 2 hour ride, when my fingers and toes started objecting. Fun to be out on the roads on Christmas Day!

Beautiful day here in the Midwest! high 40's, sunny, light wind. but I couldn't sneak out until a bit late so only had time for 21 before the sun was creeping down. But it was fast (for me coming out of the neighborhood) 18.1 mph. I felt a little guilty 'cause Mr. didn't bring his bike home.

Woke up to a white christmas....and its still snowing over 12 hours later. I'd say there's at least a foot out there. So, no ride today.
All I did was sit on my butt, watch "A Christmas Story" over and over again while my kids go happy-happy-bizerko with their new stuff, drink wine and eat ham. I'm pretty sure if I eat any more ham I may turn into a ham.
Ds is FINALLY asleep! Now its My turn to play on the DS.

Nice 30 mile tandem ride in rain and snow here today. It was fun.

I went about 2 miles uphill in the wind and snow with my dog..and it was pretty cool...the snow had not started sticking to the road yet...
I just like testing all my new clothes... They were AWESOME. It was HARD work in the cold air and I was so comfortable....except for my throat and lungs...I think all that hard breathing of cold air just really hurt!
It hasn;t snowed on the 25thDec here since 1990... I remember that as an icy mess...Discipline is remembering what you want.
