That wasn’t as much fun

This Ride: 21.5 miles
Month: 501.9 miles
2011: 7,044.1 miles
Total since 1/1/2010: 13163.8 miles

It started out great. It was 60° F at 5:30 am.  The rain overnight had ended and the stars were out bright.  There was a little light fog.  Into all that I overdressed and I suffered as a result.

I don’t do well when I’m overly warm.  So the ride this morning was not as pleasant as it could have been, but I was out, and accomplished my original mileage goal for November a day early. Time to tweek my clothing chart.

There were four of us out.  Dan and Scott were patient with Mike C and I until the hill at Old County Road, then they took off and disappeared.  Mike and I rode the rest of the way together, talking up winter riding and the Fleche in April.  He’s in.  I need to see if I can find coverage for that ride, then I’m a definite too.

Thank you patient readers for your continuing persistence with these posts.  I’m soon going to take this blog in a little different direction.  It will still have ride logs and accounts, but I’m hoping to add some other interesting pieces, especially for novice riders.  I’ve come a long way in a couple of years, and it is time to do more giving back.
