Rain finally broke yesterday and it was a nice sunny day- high 40's to low 50's, so I headed out for my first outdoor ride on the PC's in a while. One slipped front der cable and two flat tires in 35 miles. Arrrrgghh! Happy New Years indeed.
1st ride of the year was also the 1st century of the year. Did 103 on Friday with a visiting friend. Wind, wind, wind! Unfortunatey as I am the stronger rider and this was his 1st century, I bore the brunt of the 50 miles of headwind.
And then there was the underpass that we went through at mile ~75 that happened to be flooded. Didn't notice the water until it was too late and I didn't notice the submerged tarp at all.
One wreck, one ripped set of bib shorts, one flat tire, two numb feet, two numb hands, and one FROZEN cyclist for the last 25 miles home.
Done 2 rides on the road this new year - one wet and cold, the other in snow. Had ice all over my jacket, my clothing had frozen stiff!! After that I hit the trainer..
54 miles Thursday it was 70 degrees
51 miles on Sunday at about 67 degrees, bhut very windy.
