1st ride of 2012: WINDY 65!

1-8-12: Whew! The first ride of 2012 was THE windiest I have ever experienced. The news reported winds of up to 65 MPH!

Nevertheless, had a few brave souls who made it all the way to Mt. Rubidoux and back. Check out the pixs and hope to see you at our next ride Jan. 22, 1:30 PM!

Looking at my Endomondo data, some of the splits are telling:

Miles 1-9 (heading to Mt. Rubi) ave. between 4 & 5 min. miles, with one 7 min. mile.
Miles 10 - 15 (heading back) ave. between 8 and 11 min. miles!
Miles 16-18 (after Robin got picked up and trying to catch the other two) ave. 5 min miles.

Total Data: 18.14 miles completed in 2:02 hours. Ave. speed 6:46 min/mile, burned 2080 kcals!

Robin, Ada (red) and Raymond raise their hands in victory as we headed towards Mt. Rubidoux. They laughed at the wind. Little did we know the wind would have the last laugh on the way back!!

Yeah! We made it!!!

Mandy (left) and Sarah (right end) joined us as well.
