not a Sunday CenturyMiles: 52.51 February Miles: 501.95 Year to Date: 810.93 I had intended to ride another century today, but my plans were unrealistic. I woke up with sore legs and no ambition to ride 100 miles. So, Joanne and I rode the Salem Bicycle Club ride - The Presidents Day Ride. The ride takes us to all of the nearby towns with streets named after Washington or Lincoln. Fun. What's Next Next Sunday is the Jack Frost Time Trial. Last year we did the 12.4 mile course in 31:05.37. We hope to better that time. The course is simple, a flat six miles out, turn around and six miles back. It is also very flat. RouteSlip.com says the elevation gain is less than 50 feet for the entire route. The current weather forecast is for "Rain likely. Highs around 50". Not promising.
