As Lifesgreat said, we had an early morning ride with some friends. My ride ended up a little longer than hers because we split off from each other about halfway into the ride. I ended up doing 28.5 miles. It was a good, easy recovery ride...just what I needed today. And the company was great, too.
Lifesgreat has a better attitude than I do, plus I'm a cold wimp: she says the weather was perfect...I was freezing my rear off! At least the first half of the ride before the sun came up and we hit some heat-producing hills. Then I was finally able to take off the arm and ear warmers and stop the shivering and teeth chattering! Only then was the weather PERFECT!
