It's currently 73 degrees. Creepy, but nice.
I rode to Bedford to meet my friend, Jack, for a ride. We listed it as an AMC ride, but no one showed up. Instead 2 of his other riding friends showed. Knew I was in trouble with them. Off we went, and just about the time we got to my street, and my average was over 16, I told Jack I was going to go home, if he didn't slow. He was fine with that, and so were the others, but the woman just had to let me know this was her recovery ride, so she needed to slow, as she had already done 4 rides this week. Ha, I just wanted to not get dropped, and we were heading up Strawberry Hill. I also knew another very steep, short climb was coming. So, we slowed a little to a nice pace, and enjoyed the beautiful day. I know this is a sign of climate change, but it's nice for cyclists. Anyway, I did not want to go back to Bedford with them, so I peeled off at a certain point and headed home, retracing some of what I had already ridden. I ended up with 29.5 miles, so I am happy, and I didn't suffer too much! Doing a ride out to Bolton and Harvard tomorrow, so trying to keep my legs ready.
