Training Rides #3 & #4

Published on 2010-01-16 by Bryan Carbone

So yesterday in beautiful New Jersey, the temperature rose up into the high 40's. I saw it at 47, don't know if it ever went higher or not. I decided to take a ride into the hills since I didn't need to layer up as much as I have had to lately. I rode 25 miles on the new bike in the hills, and it was awesome. My legs are spent.

I actually saw people ice fishing as I was riding my bike, kind of weird.

Then today, the temperature was still in the 40's. Couldn't pass up another chance to take a ride. Ended up clocking 22 miles. Just rode to a local Starbucks and had some chai tea, which is surprisingly good. I drink coffee a lot, but I think for this trip I am going to start drinking more tea. It'll be much easier to make in the morning while camping since I like my coffee light and sweet, tea I can enjoy with just a spot of honey, and honey doesn't go bad overnight.
