I rode Portland's BTA's 54th Annual New Year's Day ride, and then adding my ride to the start and home from the end I got in 21 miles.
Leisurely pace, but it was really fun to ride with other people, since I am primarily a solo commuter.
Weatherwise, dry, 10-15mph easterly wind (means cold), overcast. Only parts that had a little trouble were my toes for a short bit and my chin/mouth. I did have a scarf which allowed me to cover/uncover for comfort. Might actually try a balaclava next time.
Happy new year, all and wishing you lot's of cycling enjoyment for 2011!

Weather today into the 50's!
I went out, intending to do about 25 miles, but was feeling so good at the turn around point that I decided to keep going. I ended up doing 20+11 for the new year.I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
