1/9/05 - TSP - pretty warm that day actually - rode EZ/A/B (is that 5 mi?)- was great to see everybody again!

1/16/05 14 mi. -Temp approx 49 - Rode the "Town Tour" of Nacogdoches. Group ride (12 -15 men and women) on roads of around city, park trail, through the cemetary and SFA. Included a mid ride stop at Java Jack's, the best coffee house!

1/23/05 14 mi - Temp 41 - only a few hardy souls showed up for the Town Tour this week - I was the only chick. Faster pace this time. Road the mtn bike this time because the roads were rough - much better.

1/29/05 - 30 mi - Temp 45 - rode outside of Nac on backroads (almost too rough for a road bike! not even chip sealed) started out 9AM much cooler and misty - once again only chick on the ride - got called "hard core" haha! Managed to keep up without whining. Fortunately one of the guys was slower than me so that kept the pace tolerable - whew!
