Thanksgiving Rides Planned?

[Crankin]

I did a 20 mile ride yesterday. At this time of year, even though I want to get out in the scarily warm temperatures, I do better with "destination" rides. So, we rode to West Acton, to the coffee shop, and ate a lunch of butternut squash soup, sitting outside. I think the soup might have been a little rich, because my stomach felt a little churned up on the remainder of the ride, but it was really nice out. We did a little extra loop in west Concord, on the way home.
Today, it's supposed to be 65. I really need to do at least 30.

I've been to Downtube, a few years ago when I was up there for the Tour de Cure ride and it was colder than what I was prepared for.

I did my first longer ride in awhile. Just one of my usual local hilly rides, 38.4 miles. It was really nice, as most of the ride is on roads where there are very few cars. I had a late breakfast, so I didn't really eat before I left at around noon. It was kind of a bad idea, as when I got hungry, I was really hungry and we were in the middle of nowhere. So, I pulled out all of my emergency stash of stuff, I got a Luna bar and DH had a pack of nuts and cranberries and a half eaten Luna Bar from some other ride. When we stopped, it was about 64 out and then all of a sudden, it got a little cloudy, we went down a long downhill, and the temperature dropped to 55 at one point. It rose a little but he end of the ride, but at this time of year, it's amazing how fast the sun starts going away.
I passed the 2800 mile mark today. I am thinking that it actually may be possible to get to 3,000 again this year, but it really depends on weather. 200 miles is not a lot for some, but at this time of year, my riding time is a little more limited, especially if it's rained and I can't go out in the early AM because of black ice.

Twenty-one miles for me today. The wind kicked up and made the last half pretty hard due to 14-16mph headwind. Legs a slightly cranky, but tis to be expected, last ride was over a month ago... Glad to be back out on the bike!!
