Sunday rides???

Nothing for me--it's 27F and I've been laid up on the couch/curled up in the computer chair for most of this weekend. Waiting until March...

It was/is in the 50's here, but instead of riding our bikes we choose to go drive through a neighborhood we're really considering purchasing a home in and to drive by the homes we've pulled on up on line to make sure we really want to see each of them before I talk with our Realtor this week.

I nearly did, but after walking out to buy a paper with small girl (which took an hour as we came back via two parks and the frozen canal) I just didn't fancy going back out in the cold again. Your ride sounds lovely, RedRhodie.

For those of you who are riding in the freezing weather, please don't hate me & let me preface the next statement by saying that it's going to be friggin' cold here this next week. But...this weekend was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Yesterday we rode some crazy hills. It was 80 degrees w/15-25 mph winds. Today, we just rode some base miles. Temperature...72 w/5-10 mph winds. AWESOME! Both days sunny. Now...next week...there's supposed to be 3 days of seriously cold weather. Lows close to the single digits. Who would have thought? Oh well...at least the weekend was good.

Super pretty, Clockwork!

Did my big weekly ride yesterday, in 50°F and steady rain -- 65 miles with 4,000 feet of climbing. Rode my commuter bike in a group that was a lot faster than me. Not overly fun, but a good workout.

Today it was sunny and in the mid-40s; agreed to do an "easy" 1-hour ride with my dad. ...And by "easy," apparently he was thinking "ride up the steepest side of the big hill nearby*." Today's ride ended up being just over 18 miles with 1800 feet of climbing. But it was dry and the sun peeked out occasionally, and I got to ride the fast bike, so it was great! And overall I'm loving no sub-freezing weather and no snow.

(*137th up Finn Hill by the 76 station, for those of you in the Seattle area.)

I got out this afternoon with a friend and did 33.5 miles. It was about 42 degrees and the sun was shining so it felt great. I was covered from head to toe in mud because the snow was melting the roads were wet. My bike and I were filthy and I had grit in my teeth but it was a great ride and it felt wonderful to be outside.

Why am I not surprised, P??
I threw out my back recently and have been in absolute agony all weekend. Today, dosed heavily on ibuprofen and pre-loaded from a ebsom salt bath, DH & I went to the D.C. Car show to look at new cars. About as anti- bike as you can get but we did get plenty of walking in.
Now, I've got the TENS on my back and will spend the rest of the evening on the couch.
