Memorial Day Weekend rides

[colorisnt]

I was planning on doing a ride this evening with the local club but I think it is going to be a bust because of the torrential downpours we are seeing today. Sadness. I didn't get out yesterday as planned because my roommate has a kidney stone and needed me to take her to the ER again. I came back home and went right back to bed and by the time I woke up, storms were rolling in. I did get a glorious shopping day in via bike by riding downtown to the bike store on my road bike Saturday. I got a new pair of shorts and some maintenance stuff and threw it in my trunk bag. Only did about 11 miles total but it was a nice day out!

Rode 20.2 on Sunday with some friends. We were going to ride today, but rain caused us to delay, and car trouble killed the idea. I went out by myself and did 33 on the CX bike on pavement. I just cleaned the roadie last night, so the CX got sent out instead. I rode a little bit of the way with another friend from work. He was out with his dad and his niece, and I passed them on my way out. He rode with me to the next intersection, then turned around and rejoined them. I stopped for ice cream at my turnaround.

Finally went out for a short ride after 3 days of cold and wind. Still very windy today but at least the sun was out. I need to get prescription sun glasses for cycling. I have a pair for driving that I wore today but they did not prevent a few grains of sand blowing in to my eyes. My vision has really declined in the past year and I can no longer see with my old cycling sunglasses. I always carry one bottle of just plain water. For some odd reason today I mixed both bottles with G2 so had nothing to rinse out with. ROde ten miles home feeling like I had boulders in my eyes.
