First Ride of the Year!

[hebe]

Hubs and I and two of our friends took a quick spin around the lake this morning. Great way to start the year! It was cold...28! Off to get shoe covers and glove liners cause I couldn't feel my feet and toes when we got home. Last year, I rode a grand total of 3654 miles. Not bad for my first full year of cycling.

That's more than 10 miles every day! Do you ride to work?

I rode the Oregon Randonneurs New Year's Day 200K - which was actually 206k (128 miles). It was coooooooold. 28 degrees for the 7:30am start. High of 35. I have Raynaud's Syndrome quite severely and really suffer in the cold, so apparel is absolutely critical for me. Fortunately, I know where to get some great stuff. :-)

Wow, wow and WOW! Thank you for sharing that long list too.


I've posted about my first ride of the year on my new bike over on the newbies thread here . Six muddy miles, just above freezing, and I can't wait to do it again.
