Happy New Year, everyone.
Glad you got out to ride, Mimi.You deserve it.
Just got back from a 19 mile ride. It's the first time i've ridden on January 1st. Last year, it was just as warm, but we were up north.
I was overdressed, as the temperature must have been skirting 50 for the first half of my ride. That, and the fact I'm fighting a sinus thing, made me a bit cranky, but I unzipped and slowed down. Last night, it must have been a little icy, as the town had dumped enough salt on the roads to make it look totally white. At first, I thought there was black ice, but it was way too warm.
We stopped just to sit and people watch in Concord center and it was like a spring day. Tons of cyclists everywhere.
