Fredwina, did you move?
Below, a scene not far from home. On my way homeward from some grocery shopping on bike and a Mediterranean bakery where I loaded up on hummus and flatbread. Pretty tame ride but cold enough by starting off at freezing, 0 degrees C.

Fredwina, beautiful pictures. Just goes to show that we enjoy the view better from the saddle. Thanks for sharing!

I was supposed to do a 70 mile ride from Nogales to Tucson today, but I had so much scheduled for the weekend that I rode Friday (last day of my fall break) instead. I rode 58 miles with a friend and one of his riding buddies. It was a route southeast of Tucson that i have driven many times but not ridden before. About 3200 feet of climbing out of desert and through grassland to Sonoita. Beautiful but a narrow shoulder for a long section.

Was going trail riding yesterday but didn't feel good and wimped out...I feel MUCH better today
If all works out plan to head to the trails this afternoon after church. They are forecasting 30 mph wind gusts around here today, so mountain biking is the only way I will get to ride this afternoon. I start getting blown across the road with 22 mph crosswinds so, for me 20-21 is my cut-off.
Next weekend is my 52nd birthday and am starting to think about some good rides to mark that. There are local MUT trails (the Canal Tow Path and White River trails for those familiar with Indy) that I've never ridden with any bike. I would like to ride my age next Sunday, but not for speed or time. Sometimes I worry too much about that when on the road - which is ironic since I am far from fast...
So I am starting to think about two long and easy rides next Saturday & Sunday in rather different surroundings from which I normally ride I can't afford to go out to dinner for my birthday, but I CAN explore on my bike. So I will! Explore for awhile, take pictures, explore some more
