Tomorrow will be warmer around here More traffic though. I really had fun today just being out riding my bike in the crisp air.

Koronin, congrats on your progress! I remember when I first started riding. Less than 2 years ago I wondered if I would ever be able to break the 10 mile barrier. There isn't a perfect mileage except, perhaps, that which we can do at the time.

Catrin, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks

Hey this is Zona from Alabama, I got in a nice 20 miles after dinner, weather was in the low 60's here. Beautiful day for a ride. I too loved the peacefulness of no traffic.

Koronin, I started out on a half-mile trail along with my just-learned-to-ride-a-bike son. Once we were doing that up and back five times and not stopping after every mile, I started looking for other places to ride.

Got in just over 20 miles today; it was dark by the time I was done. I'd say I should have started earlier to get more miles in but my thighs are feeling the ride, and this is very very rare; usually the only thing that hurts when I'm done are my (poor abused) knees and sometimes my sit parts. I haven't been on my bike since the WGC on 10/23 -- a month! Did two short rides in Paris [woot!] on California beach cruisers, but I guess it's just not the same.

owlice, thanks. It's a nice 3 mile route we've made here in the neighborhood. Figure we can eventually extend it in different ways without leaving the neighborhood. Once we can do that, there's a CVS store a mile or two from here and a bran new Family Dollar a bit farther in the other direction. Although both those rides would require riding on the main road. Going to the CVS isn't going to be too bad, once I'm up for that as it's a main road and somewhat busy, but other than rush hour the outside lanes in both directions aren't used too much. Going towards the Family Dollar though same road, but it's a two lane road in that direction, so that will be a bit more dangerous with traffic. Love the idea of riding there though.

27 miles this morning...Awesome ride and I am so glad I did it.

I did 10 miles on the local crushed gravel MUP. There are a fair number of ups and downs do I tried to work it hard. It was the warmest day I've seen in a month as I am 500 miles further south than I was last week. Nice!

Ordinarily this path is dead and I might see no one during my morning rides. Yesterday morning on Thanksgiving there were a lot of people on the path. Everyone was nice and friendly including me! But I did have to watch out and not go blazing around blind curves.

I think I"ll do the entire route today, which is 20 miles.
