Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far?

[stretch]

Went for a ride today, 64 degrees partly sunny. Rode about 92 miles on mostly country back roads.

Rode out to Nothing Arizona and hung out at the Allmart. About 200 miles round trip. Hey.......don't laugh. It's a town in the U.S.A. with 0% unemployment rate. Actually a nice ride. Starts out as Sonoran Desert, then to Joshua tree forest, rolling hills, semi-mountainous with granite boulder fields, river bottoms still with a bit of fall colors, couple creek/bridge crossings. Nice day for a ride and light traffic. A little chilly with a morning temp in the high 40's but great to be able to wear all the gear without dying of heat stroke.

Allmart in Nothing, AZ; without the pics, I would think you were joking.

I envy you guys who still can ride in December.

Believe it or not, last week we were still in the 80's. I prefer days like today where there's a little chill in the air.

This is my original home area. 2000 miles to the north east. I miss it, but as an adopted state Arizona is tough to beat.

It was 43 this morning, went up to 63. While cooler than it has been, I am not freezing yet. I'll miss this come July.

This is mine. I miss the ocean, good pizza and some family.

Every day, 365. I ride 24 miles r/t in Portland, Or.. Rain or Shine....we're about 5 months away from the Shiny season. Last week, while sitting in stand-still traffic, the rain was just gushing and rolling across the lanes on I-5. I'm sitting on the downhill incline of a curve and water was rolling over my boot... it was flowing about 1.5 inches deep. Since I find the best way to handle this much rain is to ride the lane hump between the tire grooves.

Yes, I rode 135 miles today through the Central Coast wine country, and 150 miles yesterday down the coast to Santa Barbara. Just out distressing from my work week.

Rode with Teri Conrad (ROK) to julian for some apple pie today. 310 miles in 40 degree weather!

Rained here off and on all day. A rare occurrence. Snow level down to about 4000'. Good thing I live at 1200'.

Hope you had some heated gear. Sounds like fun regardless.

We got in a ride to a Christmas party and then to see Mt. Dora, FL all decorated for Christmas. About 200 miles total.
