January Bike Rides :)

Did our usual Sunday morning loop on the bumpy unpaved road north of us, around 12 miles total. There was a stiff easterly breeze at about 15-20 mph. Lovely when we were heading west towards the lagoon, but felt like climbing up a long, long mountain on the way back east towards the sea. Lots of out of the saddle peddling required on the single-speed cruiser bike. Exhausting but an excellent workout and way to start the day! Temp in upper 70s, humid.

I wimped out.
It's warm enough, but damp, roads are wet still, and very cloudy. I wish it were 45 degrees and sunny. I can't seem to get my motivation up for getting dressed for a coolish, damp ride.
Lots of ill mannered cyclists out when I went to the grocery store this morning. One guy went around the left side of my car while I was stopping at the stop sign at Strawberry Hill and Pope Rd. . There were also 4-5 cyclists pulling up on my right, and I wasn't sure what any of them were going to do. The guy on the left sort of went straight across the intersection on the wrong side of the road, but pulled up on the corner, instead of making a left properly. I guess people are crazed by being able to ride outside in January, but still.

We had 60 degree temps. on Jan 12th as well. What a great day for the first ride of the year...and on my new road bike too

It's summer here! I've been riding three times a week. Did a 50 km flat ride yesterday and am planning something hilly for tomorrow morning.

I double it to a entire hour. Temps in the 30's and not too bad:

This afternoon was overcast, with -15 degrees C windchill. Headwind @ 25 km/hr. or so but flying back home. Only 12 km. of cycling. Hauled back a baguette, 2 lovely cheeses and cheese-potato perogis, home. Most likely will snow this evening again.

Great picture Shootingstar! It was warm here today, but WINDY...too windy for me. So I went to the gym and focused on doing my correctives/mobility exercises and then deadlifts and leg presses. Thought about putting some time on the treadmill but they are having electrical problem with a good number of them for some reason. Tomorrow my bike goes on the trainer whether it likes it or not, and it WILL get used
