Who rode their bike today?

[capybaras]

Do tell! :banana:

[Ralph]

I did. But I live in Central Florida, and we ride almost every day. If you don't like our hilly terrain in North Central Florida, where the racers train, then we have about 200 miles of 14' wide trails to use during busy traffic times....I can hop on one just down the street from me. Life is good.

[Rueda Tropical]

2 hours pre dawn 62 deg in Miami

[GregL]

Lunch hour ride with my wife and a good friend/co-worker. As beautiful a day as anyone could ask for in CNY. Little or no wind, blue sky, temps around 60 at the start. It felt great to open up the legs and hammer! First day out on the "good" bike as the recent rains have washed away the winter salt. Next few days look even better!

Does 45 min count?

Had a very nice ride today. First sunshine ride of the year. I remebered why i love to ride. A good day! Bike was fabulous but the body reminded me what a slacker ive been this winter!

[climbgdh]

15km on way to work...... and will take the long way home..... 30km. Same everyday. Rain or shine. Today looks like ride home will be in the rain... :crap:

[chuckroast]

I did I did. Fourth day in a row. It's prematurely warm here in KC, in the 80's no less so you gotta go, no excuses.

Kind of windy though but it just makes us stronger no?

[AngryScientist]

here here!

took the bike to work today. absolutely ideal riding weather today, mid 60's, low humidity. i definitely took the long way home.

[thwart]

Forty miles in a 15-25 mph wind... and 82 degrees.

Is it Mother Nature's April Fool? Snow next week... ?

[93legendti]

2:30 in 79 degrees. Short of a flat or crash, everything that could go wrong did, BUT, it was a glorious ride. :)

[gearguywb]

1:45 on the mountain bike this evening. Absolutely beautiful evening!

Got out for an hour after work. For the record, gusts of over 30 mph. Going south was tough but coming back was sweet!

[regularguy412]

4 days in a row outside. Temp on today's ride was 80. Sunny. Blustery South wind 15-20 mph. Loved it.

Storms on Saturday, they say. Hopefully Sunday will be good.

Mike in AR:beer:

[ahumblecycler]

43 miles with 35mph wind from south ... going north is even challenging as I never get a true tail wind.

[Dekonick]

30 miles today. Have pics... just need to figure how to re-size them for here...

Beautiful day with gentle breeze. Painted Easter eggs with the kids... worked out at the gym... mowed the lawn.... hmm.... put 'wet 'n forget' down on deck and siding... rode bike for 2 hours and just noodled, minus the ever present regular climbs in the area. Oh... then roasted marsh mellows over the fire pit with the kids. All in all a fantastic day!

Hope to ride tomorrow with Rugby... Paul answer your phone! You are getting as bad as me!

Sandy... come out wherever you are... time to dust off the Serotta!

No ride, but spent the afternoon at the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC with the family.

As always, I am down for a ride tomorrow.

[srenda]

Got in 15 miles inside the park after work. Beautiful night.

[Jack Brunk]

Took the Parlee on a 75 min lactate threshold workout using my new PED device. Great workout.

[wasfast]

LT intervals on the TT bike. Weather was pretty nice after 5 days of rain and cooler temps. Rain for the next 4 days unfortunately.

[Keith A]

10 miles commute to work by bike
25 miles tempo ride after I dropped my gear off at the office
10 miles riding back home after work

It was a beautiful day on the Space Coast of Florida. Temps this morning were a bit nippy as it was near 50 degrees when I left the house in the predawn hours. It warmed up nicely with highs reaching the mid 70's and low humdity values and even lighter winds -- which is not common for us.

[anomaly]

Quick 25 after work

[Derailer]

Slow and windy 20 today.

[onekgguy]

It was a battle out there today with a south wind in excess of 25 mph. Lakeville to Dundas loop. (www.kevinandtammy.net/ride/2010_4-1_57_miles.png)

[monkeywobble]

38ish miles to the office. had up to 3 others along for the ride at one point. cold morning for the area but the only dry morning of the week so I had to go. took the cyclocross bike outfitted with some plush 28mm Rivendell Roly Polys. beautiful sunrise and good company. too bad every work day doesn't start like this.

Riding Di2 on a BH test bike. Did a number of short commute/errands in the South SF Bay area and finished off with a night ride w/lights. Really love the Di2 and the BH is one of the best slopers I have yet to ride. Man...! -and I am a Italian frame and Campy guy... - Matt

Mile 0: Roughly 1 min later, Louis passed us in the opposite direction in his car probably heading to work.

Mile 41: If you look further up, you will see a super-steep hill leading up to Louis' house, I would guess it's at least 18%, is that right, Louis?

Hey Weisan,

Was that you guys? I was hating you as I passed by - me going to work and you off on a ride. I saw all the cars at the gravel parking lot and figured you'd started there.

That's Weisan's favorite hill!!! From what I've read the steeper parts are about 20%, but I've never measured it myself.

Looks like you're getting quite a few miles even though it's early in the season.

[fatallightning]

40 mile tempo/endurance ride with 3000 feet of climbing or so. 70 something degrees out today. feels good man.

[boneman]

Well, I'm in Singapore, 12 hrs ahead of EST. Got in 86k in 2:47 this AM on my just completed BMC. Haha, fortunately nothing fell off. Hot, a little under 31C (87F) and humid 88%. Got back and made a smoothie, one banana, 1/2 frozen banana, papaya, a handful each of frozen blueberries and black rasberries, add guava juice and water. Hmmm.

[wasfast]

Nice new bike. Not exactly Italian steel like your others:-)

[rwsaunders]

I was able to get out a couple of evenings as it has been gorgeous outside. Out the door at sunup this morning and it does feel good, after the long Winter.

[endosch2]

I got out last night for 13 miles in 48 Minutes - I used to never do a ride if I could not ride for 20 miles but I am getting to like these short opportunities just to get out. Over the two years I am riding about 10% more miles per year but 30% more rides per year. Living in NH and having the snow melt early this year I am on a good pace for more mileage.

[fiamme red]

Not enough. :crap:

[jpw]

A river ride today on my cross bike. Nice and muddy; got splattered. Great fun.

[weisan]

don't hate me, Louis. :D

Maybe this video clip will appease your jealousy.

Love that set up. Sweet ride! :beer:

[PCR]

Windy, big time gusts, wet, 45 degrees F (sure glad I took my fenders off last week :crap: ). Just another great day to ride here in the PNW :D . Love it!

[tuscanyswe]

I was out for 2 hours today. Sunshine and the gravel was swept away finally. Theres really nothing like a spring ride! Some ice still left on the banks of the lakes, just beautifull scenery. Promise to take camera with me next time.

Love the new bike, handles great plenty stiff for my demands and it rides great. I can ride it all day without disscomfort if only my legs were up for it :) we are getting there, in a couple of weeks ill be back in good shape, i think..

Cheers!

[PBWrench]

Two hours mid-morning with fierce winds and temp in the mid-40's. But rode with six buddies, really our first group ride, so it was fabulous.

[OtayBW]

3.5 hours today. Sunny, light wind, ~70°-75°F. Ahhhhh....

[weisan]

In case you are wondering how come weisan all of sudden flood his ride report with pictures and video...it's because I got one of these in my jersey pocket now.

Panasonic Lumix TZ3, pretty satisfied with it so far, less bulky than the Canon Powershot A630, paid 60 bucks used on eBay last week.

[Elefantino]

Forty-three mile team training ride this a.m. with lots of other friends, 35 total. Weather started out at 64º and finished at 79º. Last 10 miles were nail it to the wall, cranking up to 27 and trying to keep tongues out of spokes.

I love the spring and warmer weather.

[Bruce K]

42 mile base building as classes have taken away almost all mid-week riding for the next 2-3 weeks.

What was supposed to be a moderate paced, steady ride turned into something a bit quicker.

We rode up the coast to a coffee shop on Plum Island (Newburyport, MA) and back.

I am hoping this means I'm not losing as much as I thought I was... :rolleyes:

[rdparadise]

Well this was posted back on April fools day and I actually did ride Thursday night. A gorgeous night I might add, weather in the high 60's to start. Finished after dark with just under 30 miles total.

Had to work this morning so I couldn't ride with the normal guys around here. Had to go out by myself this afternoon around 2:30. 36+ miles. Windy as hell and no land speed records were broken, however it was nice to stretch the legs.

Finally starting to feel pretty good back on the bike.

[Wilkinson4]

30 miler in a nasty headwind and about 42 degrees out. Turned around and had some tail wind until it shifted to a cross wind. Where is summer???

KATY trail. That is awesome... I rode it for 2 days on a tour and spent the night in Tebbet's (sp) at the bunk house. Good times.

40-50 miles tomorrow or maybe a 12 mile singlespeed ride on a local trail.

mIKE

[ahumblecycler]

111.5 miles ... it was a good day :cool:

[Hokiemon]

Yesterday and today and got in 40 each day. The weather here in Southwest Virginia has been just beautiful. Lots of flowers and the redbuds are just starting. I love this time of the year.

[msl819]

set out about 7:30 after a very early morning line of thunderstorms passed through. The temps were in the low 60's and by rides end they were up to about 70. Sunny, not a cloud in the sky, very little wind to speak of, and the company of some good friends. We finished with 38.5 miles across moderately hilly terrain. I did 30 plus yesterday afternoon hard, so the legs were a little heavy today, but all in all i was a great day. Looking to get an Easter afternoon mtb ride in tomorrow. No complaints here.

[Stratocruiser]

47 miles here today, with a few long climbs thrown into the mix. Following the ride, I scouted out the next segment of my current riding route. This will take me all the way to the entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park -- about 70-mile round trip -- and give me some additional hill practice.

Can't wait to get out there again.
