Tempting... I'll bring my beach cruiser.Putting up the first "official" ride of the year and expecting crap conditions at most local parks. It's a month away, so get off the couch now and get ready for a 30 ish miler in horse country. All bikes welcome, though I'd suggest faster tires.
Weekend of March 29-30, 9am
River Road Park

First time out in 2025, life gets in the way and figuring out some nagging injuries. Before Xmas I started getting leg pains which I've self diagnosed as ITBS, then I had a really bad case of eczema on my hands which even made holding a pen and typing painful, and mostly recently developed a sharp pain on my left knee. I have an ortho appt in early April and my hands are 80% back to normal, so 52F this afternoon and muddy local trails, means a short road ride.
Completely overdressed and my head was so freggin cold with the wind gusts in all directions. After 20 mins, turned around and went home. Well, I still count this as getting out. Pitiful stats but hey its a start. Decided to go with SPDs instead of EBs since I've been using them on and off with the HT MTBs. Thinking to stick with drop bars only for the next two months as I don't usually transition well between different types of bikes. Also tested out the Karoo and Bryton, more on them later as I get past the ice breaker phase.

Eccentric crazy was tolerable... the current iteration that more resembles a Bond villain, notsomuch...
to be fair, he was always the same type of crazy, just was easier to hide it before he stuck his nose in politics (i agree that he needs to gtfo and go back to his toy cars and rockets)
