I completed one of the two beginner rides recommended. This is part of the Conoco Phillips training series leading up to the MS-150. The 1st one was canceled because it was in the 20's out. his was was slightly better. with a bit of moisture an a stellar mid 30's, I started my very first training ride.

The ride was 22 miles. I made the scheduled half way stop, trying to warm my hands a bit, getting a snack in. The wind left me knees a bright purple by the end. The 1st leg of the ride was 90% headwind, but it made for a sweet fast ride back. I didn't set my odometer for this ride, but made a descent time. And when I got back to the car it was a warm 42 degrees. Not the easiest way to start a new hobby, but it was inspiring to keep pace with people who have all the gear and have done this before.
