Back at it

Well, I got 2 days on the road bike–outside!! The Ritchey cross bike has become my steed of choice these days. Got some fat cross tires on it, and it’s a little more upright in its geometry, making it easier to negotiate dirty, sandy shoulders.
I did a great “fat burner” kind of loop to Baker’s Bridge. Matt has been talking this one up, so I thought I’d try it. I liked it so much I did it 2 days in a row. Saturday, I did the loop, then headed out Florida Road a ways. I finished the first part of the loop when I got the call at noon from Matt…”I’m okay, but…” I’m just glad he really was okay; this could have been way worse. 
Rita, Lyn and Kasen were in town with friends. Got to give them a quick tour of the house, and Kasen liked it so much he decided to leave a little part of himself near the front door. Poor guy, he was so excited today, bouncing around like a little pogo stick, I think the movement was more than the stomach could handle.
Today…it’s snowing!!
Sure is fun discovering new favorites eh?! Looks like a lot of fun.
We wore shorts and short sleeve jerseys Saturday, then Monday morning there was about an inch of fresh snow on the ground! Gotta love Springtime out west!
What a pretty bike! I sent you an email today and it got returned. Shoot me an email. Are you guys doing the dawn till dusk?
We’ll be at D2D Mary.
New ride discovery will be what this place is all about for a while, so yes, lots of fun!
I experienced Abq’s temp change this week…crazy! I was in short sleeves on Tuesday, bundling up with scarf and gloves on Thursday.
Mary, The Ritchey is very pretty! It’s a breakaway and so I used it for air travel…no cost to fly the bike with my luggage.
I really love that. See you at D2D! I’ve emailed you too.
I love that bike!
