Today was my first "organized" ride! I did a charity ride today for one of the local commuity center's youth w/ disability programs. It was a 50 mile ride, but we got a little off track and did an extra 8 miles. So, we finished with 58 miles @ 16.3 average. A good day

Just an easy half hour on false flats with my 14 year old.

I needed a gentle unwind after my Saturday effort - he needed to take it easy as he still has a cough hanging on from a cold he has had.

I love country roads too, Tulip - lucky, since I live in the country

I joined our local bike club ride, stuck with the leisure group since it was the first time out with them since getting sick........ we did 41km in two hours in a beautiful sunny winters morning........... and I'm so stoked with my effort, wasn't sure that I was fit enough to cope with the distance

Next week I'll move in to the longer ride group that goes a little faster

It's a nice winters day again this morning, so I'm thinking of a ride out later today

We did 20.77 miles on the tandem averaging 13.0. Came back with a pannier full of Trader Joe's goodies! Yummy!!

Now there are storms close - looks like we timed it just right!

The C-group - which Mike termed the "Conversational" ride - seems to be getter fast and faster each week. The back quarter of the group got gapped from the main group at a red light, so we had a fair sized group (about 20 or so) for much of the ride. A good dozen of us did the "extra" loop into Rock Creek Park. I was setting the pace at the front, so I got to lead the group up Ross Ave in MY favorite direction (counterclockwise) so that I could climb the hill in my big chainring the whole way! Hector was razzing me at the re-group point at the bottom, saying how he couldn't catch me the whole way up. Normally, I can't catch HIM. Even Miguel was commenting on how strong I was riding today. I think it's because I didn't kill myself on the N2 yesterday, having opted for a more socially paced fun ride with Team TE DC along the C&O Canal. I'm really training to make the leap to the B-group. We'll see.......
39 miles at a season best 18.1 mph average! WooHoo!

I rode a slow and flat 19 mile with the club this afternoon. My legs were tired and sore so I did not ask a lot of them. I simply enjoyed the company and the sights on the Ohio River. The best part of the ride - the free ice cream at the end!
