Yesterday, I took a fun group ride along the Old Croton Aqueduct trail, and I rode my Lemond, a bike ill-suited for that trail, but I made it work. My daughter's boyfriend came along, too, and I loaned my commuting bike. He ended up flying over the handlebars after hitting a rut he didn't see. I'll check out the bike, but I think it's fine. It seemed prudent to ride my Lemond to work today, since I knew it's in good shape.
Yesterday was insanely windy and a bit cold, so today's cold weather seemed mild by comparison. It was 41F when I left for work. I had a mild tailwind. I barely remember the ride, so I'll conclude it was a pleasant one.
