(For those who complain that I haven't updated my LiveJournal in a while, hold on 'cause here it comes)
It was nice to get the bike off the trainer and do some riding outside again this weekend. Saturday morning was a little chilly in the morning, but I bundled up and went out anyway. It wasn't a very nice looking morning, but I was still happy to be outside. Of course, the sun clouds went away and the sun came out at about the same time I was wrapping up my ride.
Sunday I got a little smarter, and waited until it warmed up before heading out. I wore leg warmers, arm warmers, light base layer shirt, and a wind vest and it turned out to be just right for the conditions. Just before I got to Carter Lake I saw a pack of 15 riders coming up behind me. I decided to slow down and get in their draft and see if I could hang for a little while. I got dropped by most of the people on the climb up to Carter, but I stuck with my pace and ended up passing several people that popped once they got to the top.
Speaking of cold, did you see the HOT men's jacket on steepandcheap? It's the men's version of the one I bought for myself and both my Dad and Ti-Fou bought one.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw it and it was very hard not to buy it. I'm trying to save some money, plus I already have a softshell. Must....hold...back...
