Still, it was good to be out there, and good to remind myself how much nicer it will be on Thanksgiving morning on my "nice" bike (the current-model 6-Series Trek Madone) with its optimized-for-dry-conditions (meaning, fast) tires and Speedplay pedals instead of SPDs and ultra-light wheels and a feeling that it just wants to go. My rain bike is great for... rain. But it doesn't have that zippy feeling to it. Kind of like a runner training with weights I guess.
For Thanksgiving, we traiditionally do a much longer ride than the usual Tuesday/Thursday romp, typically a loop out to the coast and back up Tunitas. Something to make room ahead of time for all the food we'll be eating later. In the past, we've started at 8am instead of 7:45, so if you arrive at 7:45 and don't see anyone there, give it a bit of time before heading out.]]>9812010-11-23 19:07:342010-11-24 02:07:34
