Christmas Vacation week rides

[Catrin]

I had to smile when I saw your picture, it reminded me of some of the wonderful grade B science fiction movies I loved as a kid

I just got in from a 35 minute ride in 39 degree temps. It was windier than I expected, but that isn't why I cut it short. Shortly into the ride I started getting pain in the middle of my chest, when I breathed deeply. I was dressed for the temps and had a balaclava on, but I am a mouth-breather in the cold because of...ummm...sinus issues when it is cold. I also have asthma. Things did improve but my chest stayed a little tight so I just made one loop in the park I was riding in and came home. It seemed better to be safe than sorry...especially since I left my phone at home and the park was empty.

Beautiful ride though, pure sunshine and clear air. I rode about 7.5 miles in 35 minutes, so that wasn't too bad
