Rode my age +11
I got out early today before the heat got to bad and rode 62 miles. Celebrating with a piece of Blackberry pie and a Sam Adams summer ale Wooooo Hooooo
|
Congradulations on your ride, I guess you know you'll have to do that century next. Happy birthday!
|
:bday:
Congratulations on the ride! |
My hearty congratulations Sir. Enjoy your Sam Adams, well and truly earned.
|
Add 0.4 for a metric century!!!
|
Nice job and Happy Birthday!
|
It wasn't my birthday, but thank you for the well wishes anyway. I just decided I was going to get a little longer ride in. Bad news is that I broke two spokes on my back wheel. I missed ride to work day....darn the luck.:(

Good idea getting out before the heat gets to you. I'm a January birthday person too. For the past five years I've been lucky enough to get out on each birthday, despite the weather.... but, to be completely honest, I've haven't been able to get my age in miles in on three of them. It was just too cold. I assume your're riding a rear wheel with a few more than 18 to 20 spokes? I really worry about spoke breaking on some of the lower spoke count wheels.

Big congrats on the big ride! Like so many (about 1/12 of us, I guess) I have a January birthday. This year we had some wonderful weather that month and I got my b'day ride in. However, weather wise, we paid for the nice January in February.....and March......and April...began wondering if it was ever going to warm up.
By the bye, Sam Adams and good pie is about as fine a reward as one can imagine. Way to go. |

:bday:
Way to go! Birthday rides are so much fun, even belated ones . . . you get to ride, eat and celebrate! I'm not quite sure blackberry pie goes with beer, but I'm willing to give it a try after my next long ride. :rolleyes: Now if only we had pictures . . . :beer: |
Congratulations on the ride. The heat in NYC has been unbearable this week. I've been limiting myslef to short (less than an hour) rides.
