what I did this weekend

• Realized that when the weather channel says that theres a north wind, that means it's coming FROM the north, not blowing northward. (I know, I know...at almost 33, I really should have known this by now)

• Rode the Novemberfest Metric Century 44-mile route, riding into a 20-mph north wind for most of the first 30 miles (but those last 10-15 miles were SWEET). To give you an idea of how badly that wind SUCKED, I averaged 12.7 mph. There were some rolling hills, too, but the wind is what really slowed me down. Aside from that, though, I really loved it. That area out there has some beautiful roads for riding, and the free lunch was excellent. I'll definitely be back next year.

• Did the Sunday club ride, got a wee bit lost. Ended up doing nearly 30 miles, instead of the usual 27.

• Bought a dress for the company holiday party.

• Decided on a new 22-week challenge, on which I will elaborate more tomorrow.
  

I don't suppose you bought the shoes or matching jewlery too? Not that I'm complaining or anything.. Just wondering.

nope,just the dress. Those shoes didn't look wearable enough to be worth $100, and they were the wrong color. And I won't really know what I want to do about jewelry until I try the dress on.
