Hadn't been out on the road bike since... I don't remember.
Wanted a long ride today to enjoy the nice weather but wanted to take it easy.
So did 50 miles @ 15.5mph and stopped twice during to visit friends along the way for a few. Nice to be back out.

Yeah, a light it going to change this fall season for me. I can feel it and am psyched - I rarely have time to ride on the weekends so I only have before and after work to ride... and soon it's going to be dark except for during the work day - a time of year that really bums me out because it usually keeps me inside.
I think you should ask for an early Xmas/Hannukah/Quanza present?

Bruno...missed your bike trip logs....Its been a while since you've posted here.

I got out yesterday in the woods for an hour. A bit wet, but no rain at the time. Stayed off most of the slick rocks...did a few hill climbs...probably about 1000' vert...not bad especially since I didn't stop, except to get that big stick out of my derailleur.

Regular road ride yesterday, 28 miles, 1900'. 17.2 mph with a nice wind....the cool temps help keep me moving.

Just got back from a quick ride (55mins) in the woods. Did the hill ride, 1000' vert. plus a few short single tracks. Didn't stop, except to pick myself off the trail after a header going down a short, steep shoot. Had a bit too much speed, got off the only line in this little shoot and couldn't get the front tire over a nice big rock. No blood.

Rode the mtb last night from around 6:30-8. Fun riding in the leaves, and now with some of them gone it was a little bit brighter later.
My chain broke at the weak link I was aware of and fixed it and babied it for the rest of the night... I guess I have to just suck it up and get some new cogs and a chain.

Did the regular road ride yesterday morning. 17.4 mph an awesome cool morning ride. A medium weight jersey and a windvest, tights and toe warmers. Felt so good out there.

Today was in the woods this morning for about an hour, from 7-8. Man its dark out there these days...espeically in the woods. Couldn't really see that well until about 7:15 or so.
