June 8 Ride Reports

hibiscus09,
I think anyone can start these. Usually if no has started a thread when I read ir in the AM, I'll start it.
I usuually ride early in the morning, and I don't have breakfast before I ride, so I would also think you're ok there.
my ride today:
13 miles - more fog, I tried to take to take easy, as I have a century on saturday that invlovles 8000 feet of climbing (Orange County Wheelmen's Ride Around The Bear). Noticed a lot more cars the usual.

Now that summer has arrived and I'm in severe danger of melting if I ride during the day, I bit the bullet & got up tfor a ride when DH's alarm clock went off.

It was a lovely ride. I saw two herons in flight. The hills were not too bad, considering I was doing my thing without breakfast, and the humidity monster hadn't quite awakened yet. Not bad.

Got home, took a shower, then before I was dry Younger Daughter called because she needed me to go (on bike, she had the car) back UP part of my route, 'cause we had forgotten that the doc needs money when you go. (So much for the shower)

It wasn't all bad, I hit 30 mph on my way home. <--notice bugs in teeth.

I think I'll do the morning ride thing again soon, but without the add-on at the end.

Big yellow thing up in sky....which is itself a strange shade of ...blue....happy I rode bike to work today, might venture out into this strange world. I think I can even get away with shorts!

Also, I must share that I am so happy that I just found out that one of my favorite colleagues here used to be an editor at Bike World! Loves Rivendells, knows bikes; we talked serious bike geek this morning "before" our real meeting.
