8/30/08: Patterson/Whaley Lake Loop * (15 mi, 1 hr 10 min )

...with some extras (note the map shows me doubling back -- helped link two pair of AT hikers who had gotten separated and couldn't find each other).

Wanted to do a short ride today in prep for a possible 80+ miler to Red Hook and back tomorrow or Monday.

584 miles to date.

8/29/08, Pleasant Ridge-Sherman Loop (31.3 mi, 2 hr 20 min)

First time doing this route. And, finally got decent bike jersey (first ever non-Tshirt, real jersey in 27 years of serious riding), shorts, sunglasses, and new sunglasses-mirror (from Pawling Cycle and Sport). Felt very aerodynamic and spiffy.

Wed. 8/27/08, Quaker Ridge Loop * (22 mi / 90 min)

Strongest I've felt all year, even was able to power up the final Harmony Hill Rd. / Mt. Tom Rd. combination all the way to the top. I'm wondering if it was the red meat had at Mom's house on Tues night and Wed lunch, first time in months.

8/24/08: Sherman-Wingdale Loop (31.3 miles / 2.5 hours)

Including the infamous Kirby Hill Rd., 5 min of barely turning the chainrings in lowest gear.
