New Years Day Ride

Went out for a ride yesterday. It being the first day of the year and all, I thought that a ride would help me ride into the new year. It was very cold! 34 with some wind. I did not want to ride but after I was on the road it was not that bad. My face was cold, my hands and feet were also. It does not matter what I put on my feet they will always stay frozen and numb! I am at my parent's house with my son visiting for a few days and it is flat,very flat here. I believe that it is easier to ride back home some days because at least you get a break going down a hill. Here, there are no hills so you have to stay on the peddles the whole ride and it is mostly wide open farm land so the wind is always blowing in your face. But this is cycling and I am grateful for the chance to ride as well as the change in scenery. I was able to get in 35 miles yesterday and it turned out to be a good ride. I hope to ride today as well. If I get home early enough tomorrow, I may try to take the 29er out for a bit. I for got to take the camera with me yesterday or I would have posted a few pic's of my ride. Maybe I will do it today.
