A January Ride

I got lucky yesterday - the temp was 50, so I went for a little ride.

My short loop through Canterbury.

The wind was strong, but I stayed nice and warm thanks to the right layers and new gloves.

I felt much better than I expected on the climbing that is part of that loop. I think that I am starting this year off with reasonable shape in January. If I can only hold on to this and build from it.

I have been talking to some folks about putting together an alternative ride to the Triple this year, since that was such a mess. I'm thinking that if 20 or 30 of us got together the weekend before or after, we could pay somebody to do food support, and have a great time at it. Folks kick in $20 or $30 apiece, and have watermelon and other good food waiting at important places. Sagging would be possible too if we paid someone to drive a truck with tools for minor repairs if needed.

Would need to stay somewhat together, but I think that if we had an A group and a B group, we could make it work.

Would love to find folks interested.
