beautiful morning, I rode the road bike to work today, it was like getting a free ride. I had to take the long route in so I could be out there long enough to take in the sunrise. Mornings like this are what it's all about.
|
Got home before the rain started to fall yesterday afternoon. Not a bad ride home, wind at my back but the air was thick and sticky.
Ride in this morning was refreshing, the rain overnight blew in some fresh air and cleaned the streets. |
Stormy weather and very gloomy. A bit of lightning here and there both yesterday and today, but no rain yet. Legs are feeling great and I think I've got the new bike dialed in pretty well for shifting and riding position now.
|
Today was one of those mornings where the world seemed new. No wind, no rain and cool temperatures. (40F) Had to dodge a dead skunk. Anyone for roadkill stew? :rolleyes:

Well, I planned on riding the 14 miles to work today. Had the extra clothes already in the office, etc. Then last night, my shoulder and neck muscles got very tight and sore, probably from a workout I did the other day or perhaps the hour I spent planting new items in our garden on Sunday. Didn't sleep real great last night and wasn't especially keen on feeling uncomfortable when I was riding so I opted to just drive in as usual.
Mind you, I want to ride in about once a week or so all summer and only got started last week. Now, I'm all pissed off and depressed 'cause I didn't ride today! The neck is still sore but not painful or anything just muscle stuff. Arggggg........how completely lame to feel so down about this. (can't ride in tomorrow because I take my daughter to camp on Tu/Th and I'm off on Friday). Well, gonna shoot for Monday! Sheldon |
I ride home in the late afternoons, yesterday was 100. Mileage is 14. I was pretty beat. Today is supposed to be in the mid 90's. Fortunately I have three things going for me: The bike trail is beautiful (saw two turkeys and deer), it's not humid and I have a pool at home!!

First 100F day of the year in Sactown yesterday. Today is the second. I think I'll just go easy on the way home tonight.
|
Sunny commute today & warmer, 82F, finally beginning to see a few more cyclists going to & fro.
|
This week has featured a lot of going to work early and staying late. Thank God for the ride at either end, get there feeling as good as possible, and can look forward to the ride home. Last night was the first trip home in the dark in several weeks. Frog chorus to keep me company.
|
First time commuting 2 days in a row today. This morning was beautiful - about 55 degrees clear and no breeze. The road home was somewhat tougher - 85 degrees and a slight breeze (in my face the whole way). Tommorrow's a day off, then we'll try again on Friday.
|
12 Degrees C this morning, didn't bother me a great deal as I like those temperatures. I have a minor cold (I don't get major ones) rightnow which is annoying, but gives me a few snot-rockets to fire at rednecks.
|
Nice morning, no wind, slightly humid and 68 degrees. The forcast says i'll be riding home in the rain.
|
Nice humid sticky ride home last night. Besides that nothing special.
Had a headwind on the way to work today. Pretty unusual for my ride in to have that. |
Nice ride in this morning in Atlanta. Mid 70's. We had thunderstorms last night, so everything was wet, but not too much standing water. The sun finally decided to come out so sunglasses were in order.
:eek: Looking forward to a string of days in the 90's. |
The last three days required that I commute by airplane to Easton, MD (on the far side of the Chesapeake Bay), so this was my first bike ride in six days. It felt good to be riding again, although the early morning heat and humidity (77F 25 C and 71 F / 21 C dew point)suggested that the day will turn out to be a scorcher. Still, it felt great to be on two wheels again.

Very wet ride home yesterday. Rained the whole way... Must. Buy. Fenders. |
75F and muggy… There were a few other riders out this morning. It seemed that everyone was going to summer camp. I rode with a guy for about 3 miles who was a councilor at a summer camp. As I rode through the university campus I passed a group of about 150 kids (young teens) with their luggage and sleeping bags… oh the days of smores, water balloons and shaving cream fights. Everybody have a great day! :)

Much cooler this morning. A bit breezy for my taste but I'll take it over the 100+F temperatures we've had this week.

38F with drizzle and a lovely north headwind the whole way into town. We had heavy rains overnight so the puddles were big. Expecting more heavy rain for the ride home with our predicted high temperature of 50F! Not bad riding weather. I just wonder if summer is ever going to come to the northern front range? :rolleyes:

Weather has been pretty nice around Chicago's northwest suburbs. A little humid, hardly any wind, and partly cloudy. Sure has been nice weather. Except for the broken spoke on my rear wheel wheel yesterday afternoon, it sure has been good riding to work.

Its been clear and warm the last few days (too much work to read the forums yesterday) The warmer weather has brought wind with it, often providing a headwind both directions. The nice weather has also brought out the amateurs in droves. I have chosen alternate routes, but took the MUP home last night. Just put it in an easy gear and spun my way against the wind and the "obstructions" Just gotta keep your eye off the speedometer :)
