shorts rides

So with this crazy weather we had a frost and cool weather up til a few days ago, it was misty for a day or so, and my last three rides have been in shorts and a T-shirt. The sun's back out in full force and the forecast today is 68-72 degrees! I had been getting used to pulling on the riding pants so going back to shorts initially made me feel naked again. I had to literally check myself to make sure I wasn't riding down the street in my underpants...

Happy Fall!

Always a good time!

Maybe I should get into cyclocross...or, will this rain ever end? Either way not ready for inside riding dot dot dot

2010 race to the top of vt

made it to the top in record time--4 seconds faster than last years effort!

in training

Still in training for the Big Hill, I rode to work three outof 5 days. The first two having been fairly standard--a few extra miles thrown in at each end of the workday--but the third was considerably longer. I had a couple of hours to play with, so after dropping he car off for service, I took the long way over to the Blue Hills, through Braintree and Randolph, and snaked my way through, attacking every hill with everything I had. It was getting hot mid-morning, and at one point I felt I might overheat, so I stopped and chugged some more water, and walked abit. It was amazingly peaceful in the woods, and walking reminded me of how quiet hiking is without the wind whistling by my ears... BUT that didn't last long, as soon as I saw the nice long downhill run approaching, I had to get back on...

With at least 20 miles gone I got to work with an hour to spare, so I partially drip-dried myself outside before clocking in a half-hour early.

Down Time

Clipped a traffic-light pole while pushing the marsh loop. Went down hard onto my hip and shoulders and right into the beach-roses bush. Not sure why both shoulders. The leg-burger is actually I think from the front tire... Broke off my dingie bell, need to buy a new one...

Notes to self: remove bar ends and lop off 1/2" from both ends of handlebar. Trim back the beach-rose so there's alittle more space between it and the light pole...Try to go faster next time.
