me:

around 85 miles small group ride in absolutely great, sunny weather and decent scenery. had a near death, ok crash, moment on the only descent where the front of the bike started to wobble and wouldn't brake with the wobbles. so fu('n scary... appointment with the local lbs this week, they kind of loosened up the headset for me when i stopped by after the ride.

getting acclimated to the sudden shift to summer heat (high 80s & 90s after a stretch of mid 60s) is hard on the system.

not my pic, but a flickr excerpt of where i was today:



...hope yers was good.

geoGraphicFTD

53 miles, from a few miles inside Yellowstone's west entrance to Old Faithful and back.
met to other people at Madison Junction on the way back and paced with them for the last leg (well, until we hit a hill, where they got to see what a terrible climber I am (but I'm slowly getting better now that I live here...)).

no pics from this week, but I did a shorter, slower version of the same ride last weekend with a friend and saw bears!

RelevantCycling

No pics, but 72 miles, 6,277 feet climbing, temp in the high 60's to low 80's. Gorgeous ride along the ridgeline in Berkeley, drop down through the redwoods, a couple of stoplights and then back to trees, cyclists and very few cars on a two lane road past ranches and wineries...

Ritterview

Training for Climb to Kaiser. 75 miles, 6200 ft of climbing including Tollhouse grade. Temps up to 100, which is also good training for Kaiser.

Gonna take my camera next time, as there is a vista on Auberry road in which the Banner, Kaiser Peak, and Mt. Ritter are all on display.

Giovanni

an easy 51 miles on some rolling hills. weather was perfect, seemed to have a tail wind the whole way through.

sneekyjesus

36 miles of rolling vermont hills overlooking the beautiful lake champlain valley and adirondack state park... maybe 1000ft of climbing.. hey, i'm just getting my spring legs back.

barryflht

A metric under bright blue skys and high 70's....First half of the ride was wonderful.....Second half was all up hill, (some of them hellacious hills} with a brisk headwind.....Last 10 miles or so was a lot of work, but all in all it was a great day out on the bike.

artifice

short 20 mile RT ride exploring the route to work- and stopping short at risk of biking through ghettos. Ill have to explore a different route...
Rolling hills of dakota county, mostly uphill and into 15mph headwinds on the way there. The ride back was a breeze! I prefer the tailwind..

gruffydd

Just 58 miles, but it was soooo nice. The weather on the front range of Colorado was great today.

SushiJoe

I rode 5.85 miles to my LBS where I worked from 10am-5pm.

Ai52487963

65 miler today, the second metric century I've ever run, the first being on Thursday. Did the same route today as the one I did on thurs, only solo. On thursday I had a massive headwind on the way back (and had to play breakwind for a friend, not fun), but today was dead calm. Only wish I had more gears and more sunblock, though.

DataJunkie

100 miles in the mid to low 80s. Had a few hydration issues. I can't seem to carry enough water with me.

J.Lockdown

15 mile around the area in the mid 70's. Front of my bike has started to sqweek after the ride so got to check it out.

Machka 

A little bitty 50 km ride after work.

Machka 

Don't you buy it along the way?

J.W.

None today, legs were a little tired from wend/thurs. But i plan to do 50 miles tomorrow with a climb that tops out at about 22% for about 5-600meters...should be fun.

buddy

I rode Gulf Shores, AL Bama to Florida.

Looneytuna

it was my first ride/exercise since surgery last tuesday...

25 miles to the park with a few laps and back... was out of breath by the time I got to the park and the first lap killed me, but then I got my wind back and did a few more laps before the pollen tried to choke me. Will try to do 35 miles tomorrow..

Red Rider

A half-metric on the usual Winters loop...hot but a nice ride, very little wind.

Tomorrow we take on Mt. George on the Monticello-Solano century, taking the tandem out for a spin. I'll take pics (one of my jobs as stoker). Hoping to leave and finish early to beat the 100+ degree heat.

Nachoman

45 miles with my son in 80+ temperatures.

ncherry

121 miles, 18.3 mph, high 60's/low 70's and windy.

wsherman

20 miles to loosen up... shredded a new tire on some glass.

the beef

1 mile, then flatted. 'Twas pathetic.

Then used that as an excuse to buy a set of Michelin Pro 3 Race clincher tires from work.

Yarbo

Mine was about 12.4 miles. Which seems pathetic compared to some of the other distances I've seen on this thread. But I'm a new cyclist .

For anyone in Vancouver, I rode from the Commercial & Broadway area to downtown and back, and then back again... but then I had to go back downtown, so I did the whole thing over again. Was great both times, as the weather was beautiful.

Yarbo

Thats what I do, I bring a large bottle of water with me from home, and if I run out on the journey, I just buy more at any of the seemingly thousands of convenience stores across Vancouver.

Oops, sorry for the double post.
