I was in the garage the other day and took my bike out. I very quickly realized that I didn't oil the chain after my last ride (in the fall). :eek:

yeah, weather has generally been bad. Back on the trainer with Chris Carmichael on the iPod screaming at me "this isn't easy!" Perhaps we might have a dry summer this time around? Better check with Al Gore and see what the Global Warming forecast has in store for us.

First ride of the season on Saturday. A very windy 24 mile ride at a slowwww 16.5MPH average. You know, I'm one of those "old guys who get fat in winter" :razz:

Westchester County, NY and a Mountain near you!
First road ride since October!!!

And it showed. Did the regular ride. 28 miles, 2000' of climbing. But at a very slow.. 15.3. And it whooped my butt. I was beat the rest of the day. That is a good 2.5 mph slower than I was in the early fall. Felt great though.

Perfect, that works great. I spend most of the time down in Rockville Center but I am in Great Neck / Manhassett as well...Glen Cove is not to far off. I read the book, "Gold Coast"...hopefully I do not run into any of those characters.

Can you name any specific roads that are good for road riding...I will check it out on a map.
