Saturday - to continue on with the birthday plan I wanted to ride at least 51 miles. Of course when I woke up that morning the weather was ridiculous! It was about 35 degrees out with winds from the NNW at 12-15 mph! Not particularly ideal cycling conditions. My friends Deanna and Lesley are training for a century and needed to ride for 5 hours that morning. So we formulated a plan to meet them at mile 22. Again like troopers Judy and Sam showed up to ride! The weather conditions weren't as bad as they sounded - recently I got a Cannondale Morphis jacket and that thing is pretty much 100% windproof. It has sleeves that attach with magnets so it's really easy to convert it into a vest if the temperature rises. I wore tights, booties, my Craft windproof shirt, l/s jersey, my jacket, a fleece beanie and winter gloves with glove liners. I also put "hot hands" under the toes of my booties and in my gloves. I was very comfortable!!
