Over 40 degrees for the first time on a Sunday in a month so I rode to my art studio model session (i was a painter, not the model).
YAY!

Rode up Mt. Hamilton today with melissam & dachshund. It was gorgeous up there today, clear & sunny and the mountain is getting green again.
I passed right by a coyote standing in the road, I was really suprised that he didn't scamper off as I approached him. And on our way back we passed a field with at least a dozen deer placidly grazing, oblivious to us.
A great (if tiring) day.

DH and I dropped one bike off at my LBS for conversion to an Xtracycle -- I'm so excited I can hardly wait for it to get done, even though we still need to wait for the parts to come in and everything.
Added shims to the brifters on the other bike, then rode home in ABOVE FREEZING WEATHER for the first time in what felt like forever and a day. Woo! I took the "long" way home (only 12.5 miles anyway) because it was such a gorgeous day and I didn't want to waste it. Sunny, 40-ish, somewhat breezy; lots of melting snow and, as Crankin said, residue ice and sand/salt all over, but still the nicest ride I've had in a long time. Also it was lovely to actually feel warm without wearing about 3 layers of everything. Face and fingers exposed to the air, and not frozen -- what a wonderful feeling!

Did 13 mile "all girl" moutain bike ride. I was the slowest and greenest of the three of us but still had fun. I did get to show how to do the Liver Lacerator which is my new favorite feature at this trail.

First ride of 2009 and the last quarter of 2008
I've been out of it for a while due to injuries, so yesterday what my first outdoors ride in a LONG time!!! It was 72 with a slight wind. I went on a new path that I finally figured out where it was located! I'm so excited to find a new place that even connects to my old loop to ride!!! I feel great afterwards, only a little shoulder stiffness. I think that my spinning classes ofver the past three weeks have really helped prepare me!!!
Gotta get ready for that MS 150
