June 14 Weekend Rides

[shootingstar]

Well I only put in around 32 km. I spent several hrs. looking for frames (prescription) glasses. Several places had sales..and I felt slightly under pressure since I had already looked for past 2 wks. I can't wait 6 months later..

So I did put in an order. Finally. Then I rode off at 2:00 pm for some lunch on my way home.

I rode the Gorge Ride today. It's about 39 miles from The Dalles to Hood River, Oregon. Great scenery and starts out with a climb that ends in a great view.

That looks like a great riding area!!

Was suppose to do a long ride in the Los Olivos to Santa Maria area but work got in the way this weekend. Next weekend!!!! I got a quick 25 miles last night on the beach path here to unwind and catch the sunset.

I rode 15.2 miles this morning, while DH went to the Minute Clinic to make sure his cold is nothing more than a cold . I did my early AM route in the full daylight for the first time. I don't usually go out riding in Concord on Sunday mornings, because there are so many cyclists, it's not always peaceful. I rode to Concord center, up Nashawtuc Hill and then back down, out Thoreau St., and back around a loop past the cemetery where all the famous authors are buried, and back home. It was humid, and I had that little asthma thing again for a bit, but I am still not sure it's that, as I was fine after the first 20 minutes, and I was riding fast for me. I am also a bit under the weather, so I think a combination of humidity, allergies, going fast without too much of a warm up, contributes to this. I purposely went slow up Nashawtuc, which made my average much slower than I thought it would be. A bunch of really fast dudes passed me, but when I'm going 18-20, I don't care. I dropped one woman, which is enough to make me feel good.
I'm glad I went, as we got back from Father's Day brunch in Boston about 2 hour ago, and are headed out to friends' for dinner!

I didn't get out I had a complex migraine and woke up with no feeling in my right hand so I didn't ride. Blargh.

Glad to hear you all got rides in, though. That gorge ride looks beautiful

Did 14.1 with people from work before work (with no breakfast!), then rode 20.2 after work with a coworker.

I managed 51 miles yesterday on the rolling hills of the west metro countryside. An absolutely gorgeous day, although I am suffering through a bad summer cold and at times, I felt like my legs were on autopilot and my head was just along for the ride but was not "there" for the ride.
