Last year I think my first ride of the year wasn't until January 21st; I rode the trail that follows the North Candian River along I-40. I only got to ride 8 miles of it before I got a splinter flat. My buddies had to pedal back to my truck and come pick me up. I did jog another 3-4 miles back towards the truck before they picked me up. But I have no idea if that jog distance was completely accurate. I tend to lie about distances.
This year I got out on the 19th [sarcasm] beating my previous record [end sarcasm] by 2 whole days! I went around Lake Hefner and back. It felt good. It was still good and cold and it even rained on me 1/2 of the ride. The tights were nice. My co-workers all approved that I looked stunning. And even though it was raining I was not the only crazy person out around the lake. I don't recall the temperature but I just had on tights, some mountain biking shorts, short sleave jersey, and no gloves (couldn't find'em that day). Everything went great. With the slight wind and slight rain I could have used a long sleave jersey but it was great.
Next year I'm shooting for 18th of January. Year after that I'd like to do a January 1st ride. HAHAHA!! Can't overshoot it, ya know?
