Got lazy over the weekend...actually got up at 5am, drove nearly an hour west of Houston planning to ride about 55 miles in the hills. It started raining on us a few miles before we got to where we were planning to park, and we knew more rain was on the way, so we turned around and went home. Glad we did too, because it stormed big time and then got really cold and windy afterwards.

On Sunday, we planned to go out and ride about 60 miles in the hills, but when we woke up, it was 33F with a west wind blowing at 18mph and gusting to 26mph. The route we were planning to ride was almost entirely North and South, so we wimped out on 60 miles in a wicked crosswind with wind chill temps below freezing.

By Sunday afternoon, I got to feeling guilty about not riding, so we went out to a local park with a long trail and did 23 miles, with the first half dead into a 20-30 mph wind. I still need to start getting alot more mileage in before mid April, so in addition to spin classes, I am going to start bringing my bike to work two nights a week and ride after work for 20 miles or so.
