NBW Cranberry Metric

Today John and I had the chance to do a ride together,so we decided on this one. It's pretty flat and has some great scenery. The only problem was,we might get rained on by the end of the ride.


We started out and I knew I was in trouble by the way my legs felt,sore. I pushed it pretty good Thursday night and I was still feeling it today. I had to suck it up though,if john can ride with one good knee, I should be able to stick it out.



We took a few more breaks than normal, during the first half of the ride and by the last half,I was feeling much better.





I think I know someone who's the soccer coach here.I wonder who it could be?




Would you believe we made it back without getting rained on?Those clouds looked awful menacing all day long.

Thursday Night Ride

With The sun setting earlier, we only have one more Thursday group ride next week. We're starting it an hour earlier so we can get a 20 miler in.Last nights ride was a repeat of an earlier ride in the year, so I  started extra early to get a longer ride in.



A good chunk of it, took in a bike path and I could have gone longer, but I would have come back in the dark. Not smart, without my headlight mounted on my bike yet.


We had three straight days of rain, so there was a lot of debris on the path. Some area's had a bunch of broken branches on it.


Lots of tunnels and bridges on the ride and when they finish the path, it will go to the CT. border.



With tonight's ride, I broke the 2000 mile barrier for the year. Shooting for 3000, by the end of December.
