Well…after getting the two indoor rides in and the temp coming up, I decided to try out the new gloves and get on the bike at 36 degrees outside and it was fun…no ice on the trail at all and I went as hard as I could go the whole 12.5 miles…the new gloves were better than the old ones and I can live with them…only about 5 minutes of pain in my fingers after I got back here and I can live with that…the beach road is closed and covered in sand along with the trail by the beach…had to walk the bike for about 50 yards but that was okay…it looks like I’ll be able to ride outdoors for the next few days and then back downstairs for the rest of the winter…need to reset the computers to zero next week and that is always a little daunting starting from nothing again…still haven’t figured out new goals for riding next year but I guess I can just wing it for a while….will be back for a political one later….Man U is starting…
