Ride to work tomorrow!

2007 wrap up!

Well 2007 is in the books and cycling wise it went out with a wimper.....

December was my worst month, weather, holidays, ect ect but here are the stats



Beat my 2,000 mile goal and I think I'm gonna push for a 2,750 mile goal this year! Prize is if I do it I'm gonna have Marty biuld me a sick new Geekhouse CX bike!

2008 is here, first ride of the year will be this afternoon.... Spin class :( But my goals are big. 24Hrs of Temecula in April, I wanna do a Century this summer, and hopefully 24hrs of Moab this fall. We'll see!

Welcomed the bikes into 2008 with new chains for the MTB and the Road bike and I got some Booties for more cold weather riding (hey it gets to the 40's at night here :)

So My ride home was good, its kinda odd trying to ride road at nice! you can over ride your lights quickly! The descents at 40+ mph yea I was guessing hoping there were no pot holes! Good ride def a fun route and will be doing this route more often esp when day light savings starts again! Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 620 ft Location: Poway, CA Elev.

Bike to work...

Well road into work today, it was cold.... 38F at my house when I left. Only thing that really bugged me was my toes.... Def time for booties. Ride was slow I didn't put forth that much of an effort. First ride in over 2 weeks and didn't wanna be wiped at work. Gonna take a longer way home that will be harder and mainly down hill :) But wanna get those last few miles in before the new year, more after work. Activity Route: to work 2 Elev.

Another great after work ride! Unlike last year I'm really liking this night riding thing! Although it was cold! I no I'm a wuss but it was def down in the low 40's in the canyons and I need some toe warmers as my toes were frozen! Off to Boston but I think I'll get another ride in before New years!

PCH pre-xmas ride

Great ride today, me an garey set out on what was my longest (time wise) ride of the year. No crazy efforts just out for fun. It was cool out started in the low 60's ended into a nasty headwind in the low 50's.... Turned inland up in carlsbad and what do we see? Snow capped mountains (palomar ect) in the distance as last night snwo came down to 3,000 feet or so! Was very cool! Saw some new stuff up in carlsbad never riden those areas so that was fun also. Good stuff esp since I had not riden the road bike in over a month! damn daylight savings.... Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 95 ft Location: La Jol, CA Elev.

Wednesday night ride

Fun relaxed ride last night. We met up with a few people but they made me feel like lance armstrong, I mean me and joe weren't riding that fast (hence the 146 avg hr) but these guys weren't hanging...... So we headed up the powerlines, thru the intestines, down Wyamaya and back up to the car. Good ride prob not getting anymore rides in this week as its "suppose" to rain from tonight thru sunday..... but we'll see Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 242 ft Location: La Jol, CA Elev.
