Rode 41 miles with dh and a friend of his. It was a good ride and I am glad to get back to some longer rides.

I took the day off yesterday and rode 50 miles for my 50th birthday, on my Christmas/birthday bike, wearing the Showers Pass jacket my mom gave me for my birthday. A good day!
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Me and my BF did 45 on Tuesday then 35 yesterday so all in all it was a great week for us. He just left this AM early to go back home so I'm more than a little bummed at this point
I'll get over it, I just hate it when he leaves, sniff sniff.

Went out to do the club ride yesterday. Saw Hirakukibou and her partner at the start. Headed out with 2 other club members who had time limitations, so we did a "short" loop - just about 25 miles and 1.5 hours. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough saddle time for me, so I headed BACK out to ride the same loop in reverse. That's when I saw Crankin and her DH.
Managed to end the day with 52 miles (3 hours), half of them solo in a stiff breeze. Not sure what's on tap for today's ride.

Happy Birthday, Hillslugger! I turn 50 next month myself but doubt I'll be able to manage a 50-miler (I have SI joint issues from a crash 6 years ago). Sounds like a great day for you!
I rode approximately 23 miles today. Was so mad -- as I was checking my mileage near the end of the ride, I accidentally reset the computer, losing all my stats. I'd hoped to ride 25, but I was hungry, and got kinda irritated when I lost my stats, so just headed home since I was close anyway.
Great day -- 67 when I started out (in shorts, sleeveless jersey, and bolero), and the bolero didn't last long. Windy, tho - typical March weather. 73 at the end of the ride!

Was near 60 here today and got out for the longest ride yet this year (outside-- free of trainer) and did 8 miles with my DH through a new route with rolling hills, but faced 20MPH winds, and still managed 12mph going uphill and pretty good for me!!

Warm and sunny and I did 20+ blissful miles.
The highlight of the trip came when a cop almost walked into me on the bike path. He didn't look either direction before crossing -- could have gotten slammed. Thank goodness I was going slowly and I have practiced emergency braking.
I didn't hang around but it sounded like he was getting laughed at by his colleagues.
With NYC supposedly in the middle of a cycling crackdown, I was happy to avoid any trouble.
