today's ride was by a few miles the longest cold weather ride i've ever taken. second place goes to december's 44 miles at 31 degrees. today i rode just over 54 at 36 degrees. it was mentally tough to keep going at times. i wanted to be warm. i really wanted to stop short of 50 miles, but i pushed past my street and kept going for another five plus miles.
i think i know now why trainer babies ride indoors. riding outdoors in weather like this hurts! i will thaw sooner or later though and i have the satisfaction of riding far enough that eric will be in tears. (54.66 miles @ 16.4mph)
