Riding the roads-first of the year.

I had my camera with me the whole way, but could only take pix as we were headed off post- damn wind!

I decided to take a picture of the flag because then I could kind of show how windy it was.

It was supposed to be a two hour ride today, but we cut it short by about eight minutes.

What can I say? I am a wimp! But the season is young and there will be other road rides...it's in the plan!
(Already missing my mountain bike...it's so sturdy in this type of weather!)

We love Fort Huachuca Army Post. I would live there if I could. In the barracks even!

Deer sighted- 9- even before we got on our bikes! Then two more as we started out.

I know it's not a big deal to those of you who live in places like my parents do as they have deer in their yard all the time.
But to us "city folk" it's a real treat to see them, noses in the grass, eating breakfast, looking at us with wide eyes as we silently ride by.

Tomorrow- a bagel walk and a swim. (Calf still healing...it's a bitch to NOT run currently. Blah!)

Hope you all are having a good weekend!

I will be thinking of your out door road ride tomorrow when I meet up with Coach Troy down in the basement for a couple of hours on my trainer.

1:52 on the bike sounds great to me! Take care of that calf!
