No ride today due to rain.

No ride today due to rain -- see blog...

I couldn't rally the troops to ride today. So what if it was sub-40 degrees and 40+mph wind gusts? Wimps... So, did I ride?... er... uh...

No base layer today -- the temperature was above 70! Since Chris was the only one who showed up today, he and I rode approximately 40 miles to Stone Mountain, did a lap, and came back to the shop. We thought we might make a route for future rides, but it won't happen -- just too dangerous. However, we had a blast, and Chris saved me with Jelly Bellies (I forgot any food, of course)!

Base layer or no base layer? Hmm... Brian, Chris, and I did the "normal" route -- approximately 33 miles. Although it was windy and slightly chilly, the day was perfect for riding. I tried a pair of Craft winter bib shorts -- incredible! The fleece lining made a huge difference. I should have worn leg warmers. I also used a pair of Tifosi Dolomite sunglasses. They are the first set of glasses with a framed border which I have felt comfortable wearing -- I don't feel as though I am visually claustrophobic. VERY nice glasses! Vanna wants his fans to know that he will be back shortly from the maternity ward, with tales of base mileage for all of the girls and boys!... Joe is stopping by to help organize the shop this afternoon, then hopefully we will grab a beer!
