2009 First ride of the season

What a weekend!! Skiing with friends at Mount Snow on Saturday and my first road ride of the year Sunday. My normal hilly 24 mile route but ridden backwards from my usual way. Average 16.3 MPH, Not too bad for an old guy who gets fat in winter
The first ride of the year feels weird. I almost felt a litle wobbly on the bike.
Anyone else get out this weekend?

 

[Jisch]

I did a 2 hour road ride with the wife with a few stops for errands along the way on Saturday, it was a bit slow, but good to get out. On Sunday I did a 3 hour long road ride at a good clip. I was on my Cannondale HT with 2.1 tires, so not exactly a road bike, again great to get out and hammer, even if it was on the road. I don't have a bike computer, but I'd guess Saturday was 10 miles or so, Sunday was maybe 25 miles. Then Sunday PM my wife and I hit up the 1.something mile loop behind the house for five laps or so. That place is amazing in how it stays dry even during thaws and everything else - probably because no one but us ever ride out there. Zero mud, tons of rocks and a lot of fun!

[tequiladoug]

Saturday was my first ride of '09, 6 of us did a 42 mile road loop from my house. And then on Sunday I skied Hunter. Hope to keep that plan up all of March - bike Saturday, Ski Sunday.

Wow, forgot about this old thread.

Wow, forgot about this old thread.

did you take your training wheels off yet?

 

[andyzee]

did you take your training wheels off yet?

I could see where you might make a mistake, that's a trainer, not training wheels:

Who's JimG?

 

[2knees]

i guess thats a no.

hey, my daughter outgrew her Dora bike. it would be right up your alley. you can have it for $75, shipped.

 

[andyzee]

Hey, get another job and maybe you could afford to put training wheels on something like that

 

[2knees]

thats pretty sick man.

do you put a fan in front of it to feel the wind in your face?

if you ever sack up and take it off that sweet kickstand, give me a holler.

Why, by the time you hear me, I'll be to far for you to see me.

OK, you were entertaining for a minute or so, Now I know why women say what they do about you.

Hey, I have that exact bike a 1994 Trek 5200. I bought a replacement a new Madone 5.2 a couple of years ago but this is the bike I used last weekend. I use it as my backup bike and I'll probably keep it at work for lunch time rides. It's got 50,000+ miles on it and still going great! The entire drivetrain was replaced with Ultegra triple 9 speed stuff back in 2000 and it really should be replaced again. Great bike..

I love it and replaced my shifters and cog to Ultegra 9 speed as well.
