Hi Cyclists:
Melissa & I are hoping to ride tomorrow, Sunday, at 1 pm. The temp is to be about 43 degrees, the wind is to be SE at 18 MPH. There is a small percentage chance of rain, later in the afternoon. She would like to ride SW, out Lerna way, because it is mostly flat, somewhat wind protected and has various distances for choices. This will be Melissa's second outdoor ride on the new bike and she needs a safe, fairly easy route--until she gets more confident. But, those who want more aggressive or longer rides can branch off and take any route desired. We could meet at West Gate (intersection of West Gate and Douglas) at 1 pm and go from there, if there is an interest. Feel free to comment, if you wish to reserve your place in this peloton.
We hope to be there.
ReplyDeleteyou know I'll be there
ReplyDeleteI just walked into the house after my 5 mile outdoor run. It is 28 degrees, misting, and very windy/gusting. There are iced spots on the roads in various places, especially where there has been shade, a low spot or a puddle that is in the wind's path. This is not good riding weather, unless it improves dramatically in the next 5 hours. Perhaps it will, but I can't see taking Melissa out in this and taking a chance of a fall or some other bad experience. So, unless I re-post differently, we won't be riding outside today. I just want things to go well for her with this and, unless the weather gets a lot better, we are out. Sorry, but I think that riding would be a bad call for us. Jerry
ReplyDeleteI agree, Jerry. The weather service warns that the slight warming today may produce wet roadways which quickly re-freeze, making conditions ideal for black ice. I know Melissa is eager to bond with Ruby, but it is best to live to ride another day. You're welcome to come spin in our garage with one of the DVDs from the vast THM library.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Chloe. Ruby appreciates your consideration.
