The weaher this afternoon should be high 60,s. I am trying a different route home. Tommorrow I'll be on my own, but I think I am hooked.
Great! My first one today too, 15k (just short of 10miles) and 1 degree C. cool but no problem. I plan to go 3 days a week until the legs agree to five and then on until the end of October, like last year. The world looks better from atop a bicycle.
