But, on the awesome side, my wife and I finally purchased a house! It is still in the process of being built, but once it completes, it will be a few miles from where our townhouse is, in Severn. 3.5 miles from the BWI loop and about 4 miles from B&A. It will be done January 31, so in a month we will be packing up and moving on in!
Today we went out shopping and I was surprised to see how warm it was, a nice 52 degrees. I decided to jump on my bike and do my normal Elvaton-B&A-East/West loop. Having never ridden in weather this cold (hey, its cold for me!) I donned bike shorts and a long sleeve Under Armor shirt with my new Dogfish Head jersey. Just a few pics... but I learned quite a bit. First off, gloves are necessary. It wasn't that bad, but my hands were very unresponsive. Second, I need a second layer of long, wind proof on my upper body. My legs, however were quite fine.
It also looks like they have made ZERO progression on fixing the B&A from where it washed out over a year ago.
Looks like Garmin Connect switched from Google Maps to Bing.
Congrats on the new castle!
ReplyDeleteAs for cooler riding, I offer one word: wool. Gloves, hat, base layers, it will keep you warm and dry.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year mate. Nice house!
ReplyDeleteYou know about the Severna Park Peloton? You live close enough and ride near some of our members. http://severnaparkpeloton.org/
ReplyDeleteThanks all! Rev - I've ridden with them a few times. I had a bad experience with one of their riders each time I rode which was a pretty heavy turnoff for me. I'm sure down the road I'll give them another try, but for the time being I'm fairly happy just riding around without worrying about others.
ReplyDeleteHi just come across your blog, and found it interesting. You certainly live in a nice part of the world. I was there in June last year as the start point to my drive across America with my wife and two friends. I'm sure I drove over the bridge on your photo. I will continue to look out for you from now on.
