Early Spring Rides

Posted: Apr 18, 08 6:40am

For many of us, the snow and below freezing temps are now a memory, and we're making the transition to early spring riding. Post what you've been up to!

For me, I've had a few easy-paced, 5 mile rides so far in April. I'm also still walking in our local parks, which I really enjoy (and do throughout the freezing winter months).

I feel much ahead of the game this year compared to last. And, I'm also 21 pounds lighter than I was last April at this time.

I joined a race team and have been trying to keep up with the group on 35 mile training rides on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

The first ride I took part in was quite hilly (for NE Ohio). I averaged 19.5 mph for the 35 mile route. That includes going up several climbs at less than 10 mph!

On Saturday 4/19 I rode in my first race in 8 years. Placed 10th out of 38 riders, and second on my team. The one team mate that beat me is 23 years old.
