Got in an early and chilly ride. It was windy but very refreshing. My hope is it’s the last ride this season where I will need winter gloves and jacket.
I somehow kept hearing “Your Pizza’s Burning” sung to “Beast of Burden” during the ride, I imagine it was last nights dinner that fueled the ride.
I’m even back on the Addiction podium now, I suspect it won’t last.
Happy Mother’s Day to all, especially any lurking mothers. Any real mothers in Addiction?

The weather is perfect in Roanoke today. 63 and sunny. I’m kicking myself for not bringing my cycling gear, rental would be 50 bucks for the day. Went walking down a greenway, didn’t realize it was closed and got stopped by a cop. Luckily for me the signs had been removed where I entered or I would have gotten a ticket.

I got 49mpg on the way home from Costco this morning. Kept the cruise control set to 80 km/h (50mph). I've found, on smaller roads, I can do even better at 35mph. The key is lack of topes. If they are present in any quantity, it drops into the low to mid 30s

I rode 23.5 miles today. Because of the chill (46°), 20 mph winds, and occasional drizzle, I did an urban ride on my trike. First ride since Thursday because of my eyeball injection.
