It was 48-54 and sunny in Texas so I thought it was a good time to ride. Proof that us native Texans are wimps, I wore a wool skull cap, tights over shorts, long sleeve jersey (mid weight), light base layer, glove liners and a cycling jacket. I was cozy the entire 30 miler.
I think it was possibly my last ride of the year so put my down at 2238. Way down from 3500 last year but oh well.Amanda

It was warm (60s) but WINDY! 17 miles out and back on a spit between two rivers ending at the Chesapeake Bay. Amazing headwinds and side winds. Short distance, but it took alot of time and it was hard work. I had a big slice of angel food cake when I got home! yum.

I wasn't even planning to go out for a ride yesterday but it was so nice out I had to get a quick ride out to the bay & back on the Alameda Creek trail - only about 10 miles but it made me happy.
Then LeeBob and I drove way down to Moss Landing for a fabuous seafood dinner at Phil's. We shared Dungeness crab and fried oysters - that really made me happy.

I rode 27 miles with DH. It was warm (60), damp, and windy! We were lucky enough to have a tailwind on the road home, thanks to DH's good planning. My poor bike was filthy (all that spray and coastal road grit), but she got a well-deserved bath, drivetrain scrubbing, and lube. She's all sparkly now
