Bright sun, cold, no snow or rain or ice. Perfect winter riding conditions. Welcome to 2015! It's a holiday, even the main streets and intersections are empty of traffic, the city a visual treat, with hills. Plenty of climbing today. Green Hill from Lincoln St., Newton Hill. 800+ feet of elevation by the end.
Long cluttered views from the wind-swept hill top, western sun glare etches the oak trees in spidery shadow.
It's the first day of the year and ride number one is done. 13+ miles, the aforementioned elevation stat, about an hour and fifteen minutes in the saddle. With the Niceness!

New Years Cheers to Nic Knack, to The Virginian & I Ward of Team Shad, to The Little General, to The Mighty Scrod in Frankfurt, to all cyclists everywhere.
Summary: 13 miles.
Strava. 30 degrees and sunny.
Salut Oh Dubsterosity! Best wishes for you and yours in the new year, now 10 days old. Thanks for your comments ala Bono - we, meaning veloists post 50 who are determined to taunt the one-eyed cyclops of age, convinced that we will be able to scatter to safety when he comes at us with his claws, we wish him all the best.

Good that you have a race booked, and what a race! Take care, and train thoroughly. Am thinking of May 1. Weighed myself yesterday: 87 kg, 192 lbs. I want to lose 10 pounds down to 83 kg. I bet you're using the Armstrong app. Hmmm ...
