A little wet today
What can I say I'll take 55 degrees any day. Yes it was a lot wet, with all the December snow that we received. Over 30" total and about half of that was still on the ground as of Friday morning. On Wednesday and Thursday the high was in teens. And Friday the morning low was below zero. So to get 55 plus degrees on Sunday, Wow what a rush!!
I took the Moots out for the wet ride. I guess you know your a bike snob
when your bad weather bike is better then most other peoples race bike. I don't feel to bad it is over 10 years old. Poor me right!
Anyway back to the ride.
My route today was flat to rolling hills with 2 short but steep hills. The first short clime is a little over half way into the ride. Not to long about 200 yards with a 8% grade.
The second clime is about 8 miles from the end and is only about 100 yards long but has 12% grade.
My last ride was November 3rd. so it's been a while. Had some wind today as well, 17 mph with 25 mph gust out of the south not to bad most of the ride was in trees and not exposed to the wind. Man all I can say is "what a great day for a ride"! I don't think I can remember a January day when it was this nice.
I didn't get any pictures of the ride, but I did take some of the bike when I got home.
I hope the weather was above average where ever your are and you all got a chance to get in a good ride.
