First ride of 2011 and I was...
too warm. 46 degrees and I had one too many layers on.
Beautiful ride, and great weather for PA. Waited 2 weeks
to finally get to have a decent ride. Might even get out on
the 2nd of Jan. also. Life's good!

I was reminded rollers and Trainers are still not the outdoors... did 65 km in 6 degrees Celcius
was reminded but the local elite riders that indoors fitness is different than outdoor fitness
but it's January so I'll be aiming for 1 to 2 rides outdoors a week now

Started at 27F and ended at 37F. Not a cloud in the sky. Just gorgous. Almost 3 hours and I was dressed perfect, sometimes cold, sometimes warm.

Was in the upper 40s low 50 maybe. body was about right but i could have gone without the light gore-tex mitten shells i wear over my long finger gloves. would rather have my hands a bit warm than cold though so i kept them on.

Jeez, I would be sweating like a hog if I went out in 46 degree heat. It never gets above 30 here, but where I used to work we had a record of 52 degree one summer. Carburettor cars won't even run properly above about 45 degree.

Everyone else is talking about Fahrenheit degrees.

Wendy and I went on a 70 mile ride today with 2 other riders. Low 40's at the start to low 50's at the finish. Overcast almost the entire ride with rising humidity and a lite southern breeze. Could not have been a better day for easy riding thru the North Carolina country side. We had just over 3500' of climbing and fantastic scenery.

A 33 mile ride, started in the waning light of a clear winters day and ended in the dark, illuminated with my new Dinotte lighting system. 23 degrees F, 24 mph headwind going out, somewhat less on the return but still enough for a strong push. A lovely quiet ride with very few cars and the ghostly sound of wind rushing through the pines. Also using my new Garmin 500-love it.

Yeah it was too beautiful not to ride in PA today. I just did a mere 15 miles but through mud/streets and snow melt with my girlfriends father. Was about 45-50 degrees and an absolutely beautiful day for New Years.
