I did a quick ride before work today. 18 miles. Nice weather, except for the 90% humidity - really. No dogs this time and the cars gave me plenty of space.
Happy riding!

I was once again unsuccessful in getting out early enough to do extra miles, but since I'm still unpacking and have to go to work half an hour earlier (but get Fridays except this one off), I'm not too disappointed.
Yesterday I thought I'd have to settle for a few-more-than-the-commute since the brakes were maladjusted on my Trek, but I left work early on the grounds that storms were coming (and my last student left), had time to at least sort of fix it, and ride out and do the club ride - so 58 miles for the day
720 for the month... shooting for a 1000 ...

Two words for today... HILL REPEATS!!
Wheww doggy it was one heck of a ride today! While I hate hill repeats when I'm doing them, I love that achy sore "I really worked today" feeling in my legs when I'm finished. I took on tuthill- and I WON!!
Averaged 16 mph. Not bad for hill repeats!!
BTW- you know it's gonna be a warm day when you start out at 6:30 am and it's already 84 degrees!!

Did a chilly 25 miles up the canyon this morning. Had a mechanical when my chain decided to bind up mid-shift. So I didn't get to climb as far as I had planned, but it was still a beautiful ride.
If you can read this, take a pull.

I waited until 11:30 to do my bike ride and rode 10 miles in 85 degree heat and it's muggy out there. I walked out the front door and my sunglasses immediately fogged over so much that I had to take them off so I could see. I had to wipe them off twice during the ride. Hot, hot, hot. However, mission accomplished as far as today's scheduled ride is concerned.

I did a little shorter ride than normal, which turned to be a good thing, since when I got dressed for work, I had a bit of trouble finding the shoes I wanted to wear and had to wait for a train.

I hemmed and hawed about riding to work today because it was threatening rain. I just got on the bike and I'm so glad I did. The commute was a delightfully cool 14 miles. Going home in a few hours will be hot!

I just returned from a 15 mile ride. It's a beautiful evening, but a bit windy in my neighborhood - rode in a headwind for the most exposed part of the ride. I did add a new hill today, so I'm feeling fiesty
