Re: [RBW] How cold was your first day ride?
Too busy to ride on the 1st but got out today on the fat bike. 10 degrees with a windchill of -8. Just rode around the pathways and green space north of my house--played around on the sledding hill, and bounced over logs and through snow drifts. Fun, but four miles was enough...

Re: [RBW] How cold was your first day ride?
It was a pretty nice day here in Metro DC: sunny, not too windy, high 30s around 9, getting up to 45-50 in early afternoon. So pleasant by 2:30 I changed my plans and cleaned relubed my chain outside in the back yard rather than in the basement. We rode down to downtown DC. Lots of cyclists out, but strangely empty streets as we rode past some of the well-known monuments and sites like the White House, Capitol Supreme Court. Plus, of course, the obligatory traditional lap around Hains Point. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] How cold was your first day ride?
It was in the high 40s in LA when I headed up to Franklin Canyon this morning on the QB. Switched to 32/19 at Coldwater Canyon Park and rode up the hill, goofed around in the dirt a little and then came back home. I was in full Riv kit - MUSA knickers, wool t-shirt, chambray button-down and wool gloves. Perfect for most of the ride, but then a bit too warm towards the end as the sun gained strength. It was close to 60 by the time I got home, headed for a high in the mid-70s once again. It's been so warm and sunny in So Cal lately. I feel guilty.

Re: [RBW] How cold was your first day ride?
Atlantis (the green one). I listed a mixed-terrain club ride every weekday this week. This morning I went to the rendezvous. Nobody. I waited until the appointed time, wearing my pink wool Riv hat to keep warm in the low 40s chill. Nobody. I gave up hope and went off to the bathroom, and when I came out there was my best friend on his carbon fiber bike with the 23 mm wide tires. We rode up the long steep climb to get to the dirt part. When we were almost there, my friend spotted a dirt road going down, off to the side. What's that? Waterwheel Canyon. We're supposed to do it on Friday's ride. Let's do it NOW. And so we did, adding some more dirt downhill and uphill to the planned route. Despite his poor taste in bikes, or maybe because of it, my friend is an excellent bike handler, confidently handling his narrow tires on the steep gravel roads. No better way to start off the year than riding with friends.
