Did our usual 25 mile out-n-back, but alone (usually have DH to draft off), and the wind going out was nightmarish. It was a challenge but man the return trip was awesome. Easily cruising at twice my speed on the first half. This was my second real outdoor ride with my new bike and I must say, I LOVE it. This bike rocks. I was worried about it being too big, but it's just fine. Now I just need a new saddle...
i LOOOOOOOOOOOVE steel!
p.s. 63 and sunny... pretty nice(we here in wisconsin have earned a nice spring)

I went for a run this morning. Then I took the bike with me to the pool so I could ride right after my swim. The weather is beautiful this afternoon, warm, sunny, a bit of a breeze. Can't wait for real spring...

I went on a nice and easy three mile loop around the neighborhood this evening after my brother got the Schwinn 12 function cycle computer installed on my bike. Weather is finally warm with temps around sixty degrees with sun. Saw lots of kids outside on bike enjoying the first real warm day of the season.

I headed out this morning, changed routes at the last minute. It was pretty chilly and the promised sunshine never appeared.
I had planned on doing something in the 30-40 mile range, but started having terrible stomach pains. I had to stop a couple of times to just bend over.
So my ride was shortened to 21.48 miles.
Gas-X cleared things up.

It was a perfect day to ride today. I started out about lunch time and headed for my 13 miles loop, well withing that loop is my hair dresser and I needed shampoo so I stopped and got that, pulled my paniers down and put them in, it felt good to save that trip in the car.
I rode towards home and on the way, these silly guys on motorcycles passed and one of the guys sticks his legs out and starts making peddling motions. I know he was probably making fun of me, but I'm a good sport, ecspcially when I found it quite funny. LOL
I got to my turn for home and I thought, shoot, I can go further I'm not ready to go home, so I kept going. I went 23 miles today. That's the longest ride this year, all I have been able to get in so far, is about 12 or so miles.
It was a really nice day for it and I had a good time. I am pretty tired now though, but am hoping the weather holds out so I can go again tomorrow.Donna
