Arpil 15 (tax day) Rides

[withm]

I hope you weren't all stuck inside doing your taxes today! Luckily I was getting money back this year (a small miracle) so mine were done weeks ago.

Ha no rides here today. Wind gusts to 53mph, about an inch of rain, and "minor coastal flooding" which means I need boots to go out to my car, or that I could launch my kayak in the back yard and paddle many miles in any of 3 directions: North, West, or South. Many many miles. Oh and sleet too. Supposed to be nice this weekend though.

I did a 30 mile, 3200' hooky ride today, a coastal loop...headwinds were fierce. Picked up some groceries at the farm store on my way home.

First real ride of the season!!

32mile hill route in 38 Degrees w/ 15mph winds at 6am.

Beautiful morning otherwise. I was well geared which helped with the elements. Saw the sunrise, heard roosters (literally) & met a few geese along the way.

A little disappointed by the average mph I clocked in at, but I know the trainer rides all winter have been deceitful. Getting used to new gear and real bicycling takes a bit to get into the groove again. I still really enjoyed myself.

Good ride!

No ride for me tonight... it was swim night!

I am working on some rides this weekend with some of the ladies doing the triathlon with me on may 17th.....

I did 12 miles today. I know this may not seem a lot to many of you, but this was my second ride after not riding at all for over five years, so I'm pretty happy. My average speed was only 8 mph, but hey, I gotta start somewhere, right? I was just happy I didn't have a heart attack on the hills

hey no worries, I'm just getting back into it myself.

Did a 11.8 mile ride...13mph avg, found some hills! I'm sick of the flat around here...so I headed north towards where I used to live. Goal for a couple of weeks is to ride to my old town...14.8 miles away, and ride back.

28miles tonight...only 14.5avg mph around 1900' (i haven't uploaded the Garmin yet) pretty small potatoes, but I rode, right?


I mailed my return and check yesterday...sealed it with a kiss and sent it off with a nice BIRD Y towards the IRS. lol Seriously though.. I'd rather GET an interest free loan than GIVE one... esp to the Treasury. :P
