We'll done crankin, on keeping up the rides in that vile weather. I hope your DH feels better soon though.

I'm looking forward to next week, some better weather's coming apparently so I shall get out!

I had a saddle fit at my local bike shop today and a selle italia is on order.....my bottie can't wait lol ��

I got in 21 miles yesterday -- 67 degrees in Illinois!!! and only 12 mph winds!!

I spent 20 minutes mucking about with this stupid forum software (I was *so* pleased that I remembered my login stuff yesterday, so I can't understand why the same stuff didn't work today -- and it wouldn't let me reset and kept telling me I was an evil bot-woman unless I could come up with a brand teamEstrogen carries beginnign with K, which there isn't). So I don't know if I'll get a real ride in besides the commute... last week it was plummeting temps and 25 mph winds and 3 inches of snow ...

in the mojave in the afternoon too but that's normal here....cool in the nights and mornings here though..

Death valley is a nice place to ride this time of year. Temps started in the 60’s and ended in the 80’s for our ride. We did the climb up to dante’s view when it was cooler and then rode badwater rd to death valley junction. Stopped for water, carbs and relaxing at the eclectic marta becket’s amargosa opera house (a must see ballet performance ) and headed back. Did a short hike into golden canyon on the way back. 113 miles. Only two more days of work and the desert and it’s back to my urban life.
