Temp was 95 and 115 heat index...drank a big bottle and a half but still lost three pounds. Rehydrating now.

It was 36F. at my house this a.m. when I headed out.

8747.25 + 3.2 = 8750.45
Dog ride.

8726.11 + 13.4 = 8739.51 miles

I don't think I'll ever want to ride up and down it more than once in a day. It's about 8% (according to ridewithgps.com) but at least not very long.

This is the worst hill I have to deal with, not so much the hill as the bakery just to
the right that does cinnamon rolls at 4am.

I started out doing this in 7th gear and now I sail over it in 12th. I have done it in
14th, but it ain't worth wearing your self out on one stretch.

HOT, HUMID, WET, WINDY!

Rained three time, just enough to get the pavement wet and turn to
steam, soaked me, kept my glasses fogged. Not the best ride I have
done.

8750.45+33.0=8783.45

8783.45 + 26.27 = 8809.72

Only 70F this morning, but the dew point had to be at about 69F. Muggy.

EDIT - just checked, because I'm anal that way - 72F in the area I was riding, dew point is 70, humidity at 95%.

75`f, 50% humidity, light breeze out of the north. Light showers, several..


8809.72+47.3=8857.02

I am an old pilot and blue water sailor, I check the weather before doing any thing.

Saw the other thread, good job on the 40+


Now you've gotta crack the 50 mile barrier....

Humidity has gone down up here SIGNIFICANTLY. Feels very nice.

 

[CDA 455]

8872.52 + (8*16) = 9000.52 !

Beautiful morning, in the mid sixties, almost got the wind breaker out a couple times.

Easy ride this morning.

9000.52+35.0=9035.52

 

[Chavez]

9035.52 + 7.75 = 9043.27

 

[CDA 455]

9043.27 + 16.1 = 9059.37

 

[steve]

9059.37 + 60 = 9119.37

 

[BHOFM]

Beautiful morning!

9119.37+32.25=9151.62

 

[Chavez]

9151.62 + 26.27 = 9177.89

 

[Wlfdg]

9177.89 + 12 + 5 + 9 = 9203.89

 

[BHOFM]

Bit humid this morning, but a nice ride.

9203.89+32.60=9236.49

 

[Chavez]

9236.49 + 7.75 = 9244.24

 

[BHOFM]

9244.24+33.54=9277.78

 

[mccornwall]

9277.78 + 14 = 9291.78 miles

finally time for a ride, but I'm regressing, couldn't make it to the top of the hill...10-15 feet short. Damn.
