12/31/11, Interrupted ride, 11.5mi

Got a flat somewhere either on 22 or Old Pawling Road. Too bad because it was perfect out and I had extended what would've been just the same loop as last ride. Got picked up, didn't feel like trying to patch in 40 degree weather.

This isn't accurate since it doesn't show going through the cemetery or Old Pawling Road -- Google Maps takes the "Bridge Out" too seriously.

12/27/11, Elongated village loop, 10.8mi, 1.5LFC

Another winter ride, this one a little colder than yesterday (about 35F) and no sun. Wore an extra layer of underarmor and was fine though feet were a bit cold, will try the shoe covers next time.

12/26/11, 3 hills and lake, 11.2 mi (3 LFC)

First time riding with new winter biking outerwear. Everything stayed reasonably warm except tips of toes and arms (only a short sleeved jersey under shell, next time will have to wear long sleeves).

9/18/11, Patterson/Whaley Lake/Old 55, 14.6 mi, 2.5LFC *

Beautiful early fall afternoon, a little on the cool side but that didn't matter once the hills started. Shortish ride in distance but a lot of climbing. Summitted Mt. Tom.

9/11/11, Quaker Ridge/Hurd's Corners, 24.5mi, 2.5LFC

First ride since Monday. Felt pretty strong. Cool cloudy weather which kept me from overheating on the climbs. A new variation to add a few miles on by going up Hurd's Corners Rd. then back down 22 instead of going on Dewey Rd. off N. Quaker Hill. I would've preferred going down Kitchen Rd. to West Dover Rd. but the bridge is still out and I didn't feel like investigating how far down that really was and whether it was totally impassible for bike. Maybe next time.

9/5/11, Wingdale-Pleasant Ridge-Green Haven, 35.0 mi, 3 LFC 1SFC

Got rained on while climbing up the 'back side' (steep side) of Pleasant Ridge Rd. (coming from Wingdale). Then went by the north wall of Green Haven Prison up into the hills and dales to near I-84 (passing by Stormville Mountain Rd.), stopping by the deli at 55 & 216 for a post-rain split corn muffin (w/Dr. P.).
