4/26/15, Quaker Ridge-Old Pawling Rd, 30.6mi, 1c3, 1c4, 1c5, C225, 9%

Again cold, but not quite as much. Headwinds going north, which was much of the time. Took it slow and it was more pleasurable than yesterday. No snack though. Forgot to mention toasted corn muffin at Cousin's yesterday.

Cold (it was around 40 when I started) and headwinds in most directions. Noticed that seatpost has cinched down again...

Ride w/Dr. P. to buffet lunch. Beautiful weather. A lot of climbing, bike new gearing was good, even on S. Harmony Hill Road (and talked down a would-be chasing dog). Knee a little sore.

Forgot to record. First ride with the 11-32 cassette. Good. Knees kind of sore after.

Colder than I thought it would be but not bad. Took lots of curlicues around the village to get reasonable mileage.

Cold (~30F) New Year's Day ride. Set 2015 goal for 2500 miles. Feet and head a bit colder than I would've liked, the rest of me was fine. Need the foot covers next time. Probably should have a helmet cover too, the balaclava alone doesn't really do it when it's this cold.
