Today's ride...

Had a FUN ride today. A solo 26 miles at 24 degrees. Roads were icy in a few places but fine as long as I kept a sharp eye on the road ahead. I rode my Surly Girl since that seemed like the safer choice given the road conditions. I am making my peace with winter!!!

great sunny 47 degree day today in colorado. 44 miles including air force, garden of the gods, flying W and a few more hills. I am working my way to the 68 mile ride in April. so nice to be out in the fresh air.

Yikes, Melalvai!! I hope that comes off!!

My bike's in the kitchen, dropping little bits of snow onto the tile floor. Hadn't thought about the freezing thing; I was just too cold to take the time to put it in the shed when I got home!

I took a short ride today -- only 11 miles -- and enjoyed it. I think I have reached my limit for riding without a coat. It took over 2 miles of riding for me to feel I was not freezing cold, and each stop -- I had to stop THREE TIMES!!!!! to blow my nose -- very quickly made me not warm again. I'm still cold; obviously, I should go make myself a hot chocolate!

I did a group ride this afternoon. The 8:30 shop ride didn't take place because it was too cold so a few of the shop riders got together at 1 p.m. when it was about 30 degrees with a wind chill of 21. There were about 10 of us. I did just over 28 miles. Good people...good ride. The temp is supposed to hit the 40s this week. It will feel like a heat wave!

I know most of the US is in the depths of cold, but it was not too bad for a ride today in the desert. Cool enough for 2 layers, but it warmed up to the low 60's by the end of a 27 mile jaunt from central Tucson to the San Xavier Mission and back, followed by an outdoor brunch with a nice group of folks.
