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.

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.

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

Maybe this video clip will appease your jealousy.

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.

Love that set up. Sweet ride!

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!

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.

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

okay, please don't hate me...

Third day in the row with good weather riding, although it rained pretty hard yesterday late evening...but the road was pretty much dry by the time I head out past noon, temp. 70s, sunny blue sky

Location: Katy Trail, St Charles, MO
Distance: 35 miles - road/trail mix
Weapon of choice: Redline cross bike, full-fender, 32 pasela tires

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.

Forty-three mile team training ride this a.m. with lots of other friends, 35 total. Weather started out at 64� and finished at 79�. 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.

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...

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.
