83 miles. Windiest ride I can remember. 30 mph out huge tailwind. Barely 13 coming back. I really had to lean into the gusts when going sideways to the wind. Strong sideways gusts were interesting when I was next to a car.

70 miles, 7.1K of climbing. Rode up to the BRP, on it for awhile, down off it, and then up over it again... plus the usual valley roads. Finally getting a little bit of endurance back, but I'd have a hard time doing a century today. Good thing I'm not scheduled to do my first one until next weekend

^ @JimF22003, amazed as always of your rides, in particular the climbing. The century is easy, just eliminate half the climbing. 
46 miles yesterday, 3800 ft. Amazing weather.

Heading out with my wife for a leisurely ride along the lake today.

You guys amaze me. I may have done a century back in my youth (it's so long ago I can't remember) but to do one now...
I would like to do a short cross country, half a century of so on the Roubaix or with a group of trikers.
Such a beautiful day, sunny, not hot yet (but warm), lite wind. 12.5 miles on three wheels and just had to fill the afternoon outside with a ride on the Sirrus for a total of 18. Maybe this summer I'll get a little bolder and take the trike out on the road. Drivers have trouble seeing bikes let alone a trike that's only 3 ft off the ground, even with a bright orange flag 6ft off the ground and blinking lights.

Rode 2 miles in our neighborhood in between showers this evening. Lots of rain today and recently. If I were a farmer, I'd be behind in getting the crops in the ground.

Perfect riding day, sunny and cool (60ish)-shorts and bike shirt. 20.5 mile group ride @12mph. Mostly old f*rts (like me), age 62-72. I've done 153 miles the past 7 days. Feels good.

Do infants have as much fun in infancy as adults do in adultery?

A great 35 mile solo ride this morning. Had a nice break from the wind today.

A warm and windy 13.1 this evening. Almost not enough feet elevation to make it worth counting. None the less - always nice to be out on the bike! Woo-hoo!

Another 20 miler today. Wife couldn't ride so my ride was much faster. Love this weather.

Rain in the forecast (I think they import it from Seattle) so I took a cool and mostly overcast 8AM 16 mile ride on the Yellow bike (Sirrus). Haven't been on the trike for 3 days. Unusual considering I have 700 miles on it since mid Jan.
Cleaned and DRY lubed all the chains. Easy on a bike on a repair stand, not so easy on the trike. 11ft long chain, the pedals are 66" from the rear wheel, and no stand. American ingenuity to the rescue. I propped the back of the frame up on an inverted front wheel parking stand I use for the bikes. Problem solved, chain cleaned and lubed.

Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

18 miles with my wife. She is just starting but is picking it up pretty quick. Love this weather. Warm but not hot. Heavy 16 mph wind coming off Kitty Hawk Bay.

Utility company was replacing the power pole in front of our house this morning and wouldn't have it done until early afternoon. With no reason to hurry up, I did a very comfortable and moderately paced, 45 mile ride.
