Well, tomorrow I am riding with some guy I don't even know. I guess I am breaking DGASMD's rule #1 of riding: I ride SOLO! We are supposed to go out for a 5+ hour ride, which in reality will be more as I will take him on a 110 mile loop. Of course, he doesn't know that.

Weather should be very nice. A repeat of today: starting in the 60's and ending close to mid 80's. No more than 10 MPH winds expected with a tail wind for the last section of it of about 50 miles. I'll post tomorrow on how it actually went.

a nice Tucson 50 mile loop....

should be good weather.

mustang1

25 miles, sunny but cold and somewhat windy (damn UK)

Terror_in_pink

none planned. waiting for new bike to come in and old one to sell. it will probably be about 80 degrees here in Southern CA and my patience is starting to dwindle.

jpatkinson

From my flat, across town, across the bridge, around the Marin Headlands, and back. Should be clear and about 50F when I make my way out the door. 25 miles total, about 2400 feet of climbing. My reward for the climbing is this view:

I'm about to head out on something called a Reliability Ride. Apparently it's a big group ride (different clubs coming together) done at race pace with break aways etc, but no finish line and no prizes for "winning". So really, its practice for the upcoming season - should be fun...

Red Rider

We're looking to do a metric century with part of the ride being what the TofC rides on Tuesday. If we're feeling feisty we'll tack on a few more miles. About 3100 ft. of climbing with just the metric; not much more if we ride the extra loop. We'll be on the tandem -- our first TT is a month away and we need the practice.

A short fast loop from my house, quite good fun, but only had 40 mins so could only do 7 miles

Holyspokes

I'll probabley hit up the trail with my mountain bike, i'm still achin from yesterdays group hammer ride.

Short? Yes
Fast? No

derath

Hey,

Maybe fast for him. Plus dunno the terrain. I have a short loop that I do when I don't have much time. bout 8.5 miles and takes me 36-38min. But it also has around 950' of climbing over the 8 miles so not exactly flat.

04jtb

660' of Climbing
31 Mins not 40 - Had 40 to go out and no longer loops near where I live
Average of 15.5mph

bbattle

No riding today as the wind is a steady 25mph with gusts that look to knock trees down. Trudging along at 5 mph is no fun. So, today we'll get the trainer in front of the tv and watch the 1999 TdF.

Timtruro

supposed to get to forty degrees in boston this pm. if so an easy six to ten in order. I need Spring.

My bad

ekimeno

Did my ride - 79 miles. All the thrills and spills in my bike log below.

I am in pain. A lot of it.

Hipcycler

I am very jeaalous of all of you who could ride today. There is ice about two inches thick on my driveway with freezing rain chaning to a half foot more of snow on the already four-foot-high piles. I'm doomed to the trainer while watching some of the Daytona 500 on TV later, to be followed by VERSUS (4:00 central time don't forget) and the ToC.

Voodoo76

Waiting for later in the day. Supposed to get up to 75F or so by 2, need to work on my tan line.

Hipcycler

...tan line.....a faded memory for me!
nomnomnom.....some tex-mex after that ride today too!

Making tacos for dinner tonight here.

ScrubJ

Did my usual 40 miles today. Would have broken an overall average had it not been for the headwind on the return leg.

Riding here in coastal Florida means one heads out either north or south and returns either south or north. Sure can be windy this time of year.

dgasmd, how was your ride with Fred?

ridethecliche

Short 16 mile hill ride. 15.3mph average with a stiff headwind for a good part of the out and back ride. Not sure how much climbing there was.

Is there a ways to calculate total climbing on an online route maker? I'd just like to know how much there is on the rides that I do.

look565

today started off with a heavy fog and frost(ireland) but the sun came out an temperatures rose a bit higher there was about 16 of us in a group ride, i done about 60 miles had to go home early for work

soma5

I'm doing a slow (well, not too slow) 65-miler as part of my new training regimen. More distance, less intensity, coupled with an intense ride (hill repeats) in the middle of the week. Leaving in about 30 mintues. It's a gorgeous day and it will be above 70 degrees F by the time my ride is done.

Nikephoros

An hour of intervals with some pretty killer wind on the TT bike. First ride with my new Selle SMP saddle and I have to say I'm very impressed. It's amazing being able to ride an hour in the aero position and not have to re-adjust the cash and prizes once or have any discomfort at all in that department.

JBS103

Did 40 miles with the group.

First 20, sunny, calm wind, 35 degrees. Perfect.
Last 20, clouds, dark, windy, raw. Ugly.
