I know I already posted in this thread, but since today is the 15th, and I rode!!! here I go again...

C_S and I were very excited for the warm weather today. I think it was in the mid 50s. It was so nice not to have 5 layers on. I just had 3, and wore regular fingerless gloves. I was perfectly dressed. That was nice!

What was kind of unexpected was how wet the roads were. I didn't hear it rain last night, but it must have. Can you say MUD?! Lesson learned... don't draft through puddles unless you're really hungry. My poor bike needed another bath! I needed one, too, and my teeth needed another brushing. Gross. C_S had just gotten her bike back from the shop, new cassette, chain and bar tape--all for naught! It was so shiny new. Now she has to buy a whole new bike

36 miles for me.
