Weekend Workouts - Oct. 9

[sadlebred]

What did everyone do this weekend?

BQ: Has it cooled down at all where you are? Any specs of fall color?

[sadlebred]

Friday: Off
Saturday: 24 mile gravel ride with my club
Sunday: 2 cyclocross races + 12,000+ steps

BQ: October can still be 90 degrees or 50. It's been mostly in the mid 70s the last week and looks to be that way next week. It's been a nice change from the last really few hot falls.

Still reading here for motivation, but no where near you all.

F: 30 min pooraton spin.
S: 5 miles there and back for a volunteer shift.
S: nothing

But, speaking of cool. I’m looking for recommendations on a jacket. It was cold Saturday, and I was wearing a fleece, that the wind went straight through. Not moving it was fine, but riding was cold. My leggings, when are a winter running leggings, fleece lined, were good. What can I wear on top that won’t be too bulky?

rubytue, I'd look for something that is windproof and light. Here are a few suggestions to get you started. I haven't used any of these but am in the market for the same thing myself. The good news is, you can use i for running, too.

Leaves are starting to turn and temps are cooling. I’m heading northwest this week so should get a nice tour of the leaves; that’s something I’m definitely looking forward to about this trip.

Congratulations, lilypad1126!

I ran a marathon last weekend, so I spent last week recovering. This week will be a little more typical.

BQ: It finally feels like fall here! It can still get warm in October, but the last week has been delightful.
