Weekend Cycling Reports - January 4/5

Happy first weekend of 2014!! Tell us about all your cycling endeavours or other sports activities to start the year. Got pics?

[HR][/HR]

Friday - 10.9 km bicycle ride ... plus a workout at the outdoor fitness equipment.


Saturday
- 50.11 km bicycle ride ... plus a little bit of walking to and from and during a moving play at the Botanical Gardens.

Today's high reached 20C and it was mostly sunny with a few drops of rain. The big challenge of the day was the wind. Just before we went out, it had been gusting over 100 km/h. Fortunately it dropped to gusts of only about 80 km/h. About mid-ride, the wind dropped to a more manageable level with gusts of only about 60 km/h, but then it increased back up to gusting 90 km/h by the end.

This was the longest ride we've done since October 26.



Some scenery along the way ...
