April Rides

[Crankin]

I rode with Hirakukibou this afternoon for the first time this season. It's really nice out and I had my arm warmers off for the last 7 miles. We just rode from Concord center, where we met, to Great Brook Farm, and then retraced part of our route and went to Ferns, where we sat on the porch, drank coffee, and gabbed for quite a long time. I think it was about 23 miles for me; I reset my Garmin without checking.
Weather this weekend looks iffy. Tomorrow is supposed to be raw and rainy, but there's some hope for Sunday. I'd like to get a 40 miler in, but not sure if I'll have the time.

First ride on the LHT today...only 20 minutes b/c that's all I had time for between work and another commitment, but better than not getting out at all. This bike is going to be a lot of fun, but the stock saddle is not going to work for me so I will be swapping that out. Tomorrow's weather looks yucky so I will probably just go to the gym instead of riding...hopefully there will be a nice day soon where I have some time!

We have a several Fiberglass tigers(University of Memphis mascot) that have been decorated. I rode by this Monday.

and on Thursday.

I had to ride by the Liberty Bowl, UofM's stadium:

And I went by the Pink Palace. Mr. Saunders founded Piggly Wiggly:

Jolt- I don't know if my LHT had the stock saddle or not- a plain white one- but it was awful! I replaced it with my pretty old and nearly falling apart Jett, but need to figure out what I will use on permanently. Hope you find a good one.

No ride for me today- I played a dance in Phoenix last night, got home at 1 am and today's weather forecast was wind, wind, wind (up to 40 mph gusts). Good day to take a break and I'll pedal tomorrow.

I took today off work because the AC would be down (go figure it's a temperature that's comfortable without AC), and didn't ride because of the wind. Just as well. It's raining.

not a good way to start a ride. Thankfully, it was a false alarm:

Still in Memphis:

Getting ready for a pigout:

did 40 miles - a season's best for me.
