A great cycling day

Today it was 84 degrees, bright sun and no clouds. I took out the new Trek Checkpoint ALR5. It performed like a gem. Smooth ride indeed. We did about 20 miles. All in all it was a great day to be in the saddle.

Unfortunately it was cold & rainy here today so I had no desire to get out on my bike. Or, well, I did, but just not in this weather. I thought we were done with winter.

Went for a quick 30 mile ride on the full cf road cycle & even though the weather was under 35, overcast, & windy; i just had to get out & ride.
looks like the hybrid will become a fallback bicycle...

Pretty much the same deal where I live---absolutely perfect riding weather .... last week was ridiculously windy, two weeks ago was rainy, the week before was rainy and cold .... and in two weeks it will probably baking hot ... or maybe tornadoes, who knows? So glad I got away from my desk and onto my bike.

Yes, Friday was a real challenge riding wind gusts all morning to where I was meeting friends for lunch. Still I made it on time and worn out.

Saturday the winds have died down, it was cool, I needed to go to the gym. It was a good ride.

I had to Google that bike to see what it was. I like it. Did you get any gravel riding in?
