February 1 Rides

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.

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
