The Frederick Pedalers actually got a ride in yesterday. Scheduled rides have been falling victim to the weather all spring. Since it seemed like it might not rain for a few hours, eleven people showed up to try out a new route that went up into Pennsylvania and then returned to Emmitsburg from the north. It was chilly when we left, and my hands were cold for about an hour. The weather warmed as the ride went on, and the wind never got too bad. It was not a perfect day to ride, but about as good as it has been lately.
I ended up doing 52 miles in just over four hours. This is by far the earliest in the season that I have done a fifty mile ride, and I was sore and tired when I got home. If I can get a few more miles this week, I may start getting into decent riding shape. The forecast looks reasonable for Wednesday and Thursday. I doubt that I will be ready for the Spring Century scheduled for April 27.
YTD: 247.8 miles
