First ride of 2010

Today,  I had the rare oppertunity to go for a bike ride.  I put in am easy 20.5 miles.   The W&OD was  being cleared of the many evergreens that had been felled by our 45" of snow in February.  I averaged 12.5 mph.  with 3 months of zero excersize I felt the need to ride more.

Club Seven

A nice day for a ride. It was about 60 degrees today. I noticed many riders on Seven's . Must be the dedication of the Seven Owner that brings us out this late in the season. I would love to get a few rides in December.

one more ride

I took advantage of a perfect November morning and went for a 32 mile ride today. The W&OD was busy with lots of riders. I averaged just over 15mph. I took the first 15miles out strong, I was so tired from the first half of my ride that I found myself getting passed by a local with an open parka; it was catching a bit of wind and not very aero. It gets worse, he was on a kid's mountain bike while talking on his cell. One of the best thing's about Northern Virgina is the extended bike season unless you are from California, and then I guess it suck's when it gets colder.

Shorter days, colder mornings and buckets of rain has limited my cycling adventures. Last week, I was able to go for a short 22mile ride. As fall turns to winter, I am reflecting upon the year. I have over 500 miles on the Seven. As with most new bikes, it takes time to adjust to the newness of it all. I would describe the bike as: light, stiff, comfortable, and expensive. Only one word can describe the whole experience and that is amazing. Thank you, Seven Cycles.

New Gu

My sister and I went for a 50 mile ride on the w&od. At one of our stops she tried a Orange Blast Gu.

The Last Muse

The last Seven Muse has shipped out of the Watertown production facility. For 2010 Seven has changed the name of the Muse to...Halcyon. The new nomenclature is one of the new Traveler line of Seven bikes. I bet seven would make you a Muse if you asked nicely.

Now that I have a rare Seven Muse, I can claim it a "classic" or "historic" and a revolutionary bicycle built before it's time. Enjoy the Muse in all her glory!
