So, for the first time in the past three weekends, the weather cooperated and I finally got two back-to-back long rides in. Both 7:00 AM starts, both days about 30F at ride start, same routes (Brands route along the LIE and West Hills) and both done in 2 hr 50 min, give or take a minutes. These are elapsed times, so include traffic stops, etc. Well, at least there is some consistency there!
Saturday was more windy and it was a little rough going at first until I got warmed up. Sunday, felt better. The muscles got used to riding again.
Takes so long to get all the layers on for these cold rides:
socks
base layer
jersey
shorts
bib tights
jacket
balaclava
shoes
helmet
ski gloves
Typical summer ride:
socks
jersey
shorts
shoes
helmet
Well, a cold ride is better than no ride.
