I was watching a few cyclocross videos on YouTube that got me all worked up. I looked outside and the wind was down so I got changed and headed to the state park 6 miles down the road. There is a combo walking/horse trail that circles the park and it wasn't too muddy so I took 2 laps. 32F, partly sunny and the trail mostly to myself. I saw a young lady trying to run in the hoof rutted mud and she didn't look too happy. Total miles, hmmm, 15 miles?

First post on bike forums in months, perhaps more than a year. I was a commuter for over 2 years, 15 miles round trip. December of 2017 the company closed its doors and my riding dropped off significantly. I am now working part time and hope to use the forum to motivate me to get out more. Today I dropped off newspapers at the local recycling facility, less than 5 miles round trip, 26F outside. Typically I use my bike as my primary vehicle for errands around town.

That's a lot of uphill in 8 miles.

My ride today was very flat: 5 miles with temp in the mid-30's. But sunny!

Saw these dudes on a short hop on the bike because we are expecting rain and possibly snow in the valley. 32F with no wind. Blue skies!!

Commuted to work today, will wind up with The Usual ~19 Miles™

Took a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway today; been closed awhile due to the shut down. Temps ranged from near 40 F down to near 32 F depending on elevation and riding on the north face. A bit chilly on the downhill but so peaceful with no traffic sans a few hikers and a couple of other bikers. Sun was out and peaks covered with rime ice; beautiful ride.

22 mile solo road ride this morning, the first half hour of which was before sunrise. Wonderfully peaceful. Also brutally chilly.

That really sounds ideal.

We had a highway project around here stalled for years because a farm owner and the state couldn't agree on compensation. Bike Highway! (I was walking at the time, but same idea.)

Today it was supposed to be sunny in the mid 50'sF.
Instead we got an overcast sky, and barely 50 with a cold wind, making it feel even worse.
Nevertheless, I cranked out 60 min. on my old, heavy steel Hybrid.

44 windy miles Wednesday evening. Whew. Felt like all headwind but it wasn't.

Bob Ross

Same today.

29 miles on a ridiculously windy Friday afternoon -- 20 mph with 35 mph gusts. All hills, all the way. Invisible hills one direction, actual physical hills the other direction.

I got in my first 50 mile ride of 2019 today. I was actually out with the bike for close to 5 hours, starting at 11 am. Stopped and got a few groceries, stopped at the library to return items, back home for eats and fluids, back to library to pick up a book and a couple of dvd's. At this point I was 3 hours out and sitting at 25 miles. Took a round about way to get home and arrived there at 4 pm and right on 50 miles. My old legs started to really feel tired at 43 miles and heading into the wind for the last 7 miles. Had a snack, a cup of coffee and water and took my dog out for her afternoon stroll. The hot shower felt great! I ate a big plate of spaghetti and meatballs with mixed veggies in the sauce, I made it 2 nights ago, topped with 6 cheese Italian blend. We have an Arctic Clipper coming in Sunday night, calling for a 45 degree drop in temp over night, 55 F to 10 F, with winds in the mid 20 mph. I am looking to maybe do another 50 tomorrow, Saturday.

Cycled to Ballyadams Castle and was fortunate enough the landowner let me in to get some snaps, chilly enough day.....Not sure if I'm uploading correctly....

The government is shut down and so is my job. However, half price oysters at Hank's Oyster Bar gave me a reason to make a 10 mile round trip at 17 F/-8 C in 40 knot/74 kmh winds. The ride was easy and comfortable and the oysters were great.

25 miles on another windy Monday. Grueling on the climbs into headwinds, but fun on the flip side. Pleasantly cool otherwise, although Texas has been allergy hell recently.

BikingTech

An easy 7 mi commute home from work, 40F almost no wind. Just the usual ride until I got a mile for the house. Some dude in a beat up old Toyota pickup was parked on the shoulder facing oncoming traffic. As I approached the truck, the driver decided to pull onto the road with only about 100-150' clearance. I had to get on the brakes hard because I didn't know if that fool would clear the oncoming cars. I didn't want to get involved in his reckless ways. I caught him looking in the rear view mirror and he had a normal look on his face like he drove like that all the time.

Managed to squeeze in an 18 mile road ride with the missus before work. First time I've been on the bike since Saturday. It wasn't so much the single-digit temps these last three days that kept me off the bike; it was the combination of single-digit temps with 40mph wind gusts! Monday I could barely even walk outside!

It was a sunny but cold roadie ride this morning:
