April Rides
I'll start.
As always, I have good intentions, but sometimes, life does get in the way (and cold wind). About an hour before I was going to go on a group ride, I realized that 1) today was the only day I had to do some advanced cooking prep for Passover 2), buy my son a present for his 30th birthday in time to get it to CA, and 3) although it was the same temperature as when I commuted yesterday, there were 20 mph wind gusts, with a steady breeze of about 10, so the real feel would be about 27 at 10:00. I was very industrious, doing laundry and various other work related tasks, as well as cooking, so at 2:00 DH and i set out for a ride. The wind is out of the north, which is a very cold wind at this time of year. We decided to head up Strawberry Hill first, to get warm, but fighting the wind going up a hill was demoralizing. Good thing was on the middle part of the loop, we had a tailwind, and I was cruising at 19-20. I slowed down a lot, going up my hill, as my knee was a bit angry when I got up this morning, after my commute yesterday. I think it's getting used to the new gearing combos.
Anyway, a very short ride, 11 miles, but I feel like worked really hard. It looks like there will be no riding until Sunday, though, as while tomorrow will be nice (and warmer), I have to work all day instead of half a day. Friday is going to be 70% chance of rain, and I have an appointment after work. Saturday, looks like rain, too.
We've subbed the rain for the snow.
