Whew! What a great weekend of riding - lots of hours in the saddle. 4 hours Saturday and another 3 on Sunday. Interesting on Saturday morning...lots of fog, mist, rain and falling leaves. It was my first experience with wet leaves falling into my face and glasses while trying to keep a steady pace amongst the traffic. This sure made me concentrate. The next big test is a 5 hour track ride at the Velodrome where I'll be doing the 24-hr ride in April. I'm thinking about doing that the day after Thanksgiving. I'll need to burn off those potatoes. 10 days until the big kickoff Lupus Gala in NYC. Lots of friends and family from far away - thrilling!
