It seems that every ride is the last ride of the season, or could be. The weather is certainly colder and the days are shorter. Once the roads are salted then I am off my bike. I already have the basement spinning setup in place and did a session last night. I did get out on the 12th (Veterans Day day off). The day was very warm. I was about to go in the basement to spin and my wife wondered why I didn't get outside. I took her advice and rode out towards Lincoln on Mass Ave then Battle Road towards Concord. The road was iffy for a road bike before the Old Mass Ave/2A intersection but west of there it was crushed stone. I had my Surly, which handles much rougher roads than anything on that stretch. It was nice to be outside and riding in shorts and in the woods for a couple of miles. The ride was only 15 miles but it was much nicer than spinning in the basement. I did get out running recently, 22 miles in the last week. I now have run more miles in November than I rode in November.
