Always thankful to post this thread
 
A mostly sunny Feb day in Puget Sound region = everyone was out. Hiking trail parking lots past overflow, the animal rescue/petting zoo (nearby) was packed and I was out, too. 42* at 3pm when I got home.

[MENTION=574010]Samac[/MENTION] - what's the range on that cassette? Wow, looks big - 11X46?

Samac 02-05-24 06:47 PM

That is 10-50, Wildwood. There’s definitely a pie plate look going on there.:)

Cheers,

Scott

I got out this evening for a very short ride, just so I could ride today. We moved from Laredo, Texas to Canyon Lake yesterday and with the wind the day before I have not been able to ride. I got a five mile ride in this evening. Tomorrow should be better for riding.

Well I got out and rode this morning, early start just as I like but the wind was pretty busy with gusts up to 27 mph so I only rode 10 miles. I was riding into the wind on my way out(very discouraging). On my way back the hills were pretty easy(that busy wind). Hopefully tomorrow there will be no wind.

Beautiful day, nearly 50 degrees.

I got out kind of late today as a friend of mine left camp and I needed to say goodbye. I did get out at 9:50 am and rode 20 miles today. The weather was mostly cloudy, with occasional sunshine. Which kept the temp at about 70 f degrees.

I rode a loop out to Collosal Cave Park and Saguaro National Park, 44 miles and 1,800 of climbing. After a day of rain in town, there's a dusting of snow on the higher 9000' peaks in the distance. Rincon Peak on the right, Mt Mica on the left, both in Saguaro NP.

Got out for a tad over 10 miles this afternoon.
The weather in north central Tx is blustery and forecast to get worse, so I figured I better get a ride while I could.

Unseasonably mild February weather here in southern Québec, so I managed to get three rides in this week, three days in a row: 28 km on Thursday, 32 on Friday and 42 yesterday. The roads were a bit messy, so yesterday was on paved rail trail. All on my new gravel bike, custom Bassi Hog's Back built by my son in his bike shop. A big improvement over my previous gravel bike, a Bombtrack Hook 2 on which I put 32000 km in 5 years. It's being overhauled for a new life at our secondary residence on the Wet Coast.

I was able to go out and ride today. Though I am sick of the hills here I needed to get out and ride. I got a 12 mile ride in today. The temp was 64 f degrees with sunny skies.

essiemyra 02-15-24 04:34 PM

I rode again today as I needed to drop my truck off for work at the mechanics so I got a 10 mile ride in. The weather was foggy this morning with occasional mist and the temp at 59 f degrees. So today is the last day in hill country as tomorrow we move on to Padre Island. That looks to be flat riding. I am hoping so.

I was able to get a 22 mile ride in today. The road was flat and the sky was sunny with some wind. Oh and chip seal roads

So don't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad.

I rode up to Summerhaven on Mt Lemmon today. Enough snow has melted but it's still a little sloppy. I need a shower and the bike needs a bath. 64 miles, 6,600' of climbing.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...6706f012b9.jpg
Mt Mica in the near distance with snow, Rincon Peak in the far distance.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...1b3e06fe6b.jpg
Near the high point on the road at 8,300'.

Samac 02-20-24 05:07 PM

Got out on this beautiful day. Temperature was around 45 with a constant breeze of 10-12mph coming from the south so heading north was fun. Put in about 15 miles.

Cheers,

Scott

RIP, Meat Loaf.

Another beautiful day. Sunny and 58F but windy with 25mph gusts. Again today heading south was at times a bit slow but going north was very pleasant. Put ~20 miles in.

Wind:

A nice view with the hills I’ll be heading to someday in the background.:
