Back on my Bike today, and many more I hope.

Today was the first 17 mile ride this year, (my daily ride last season). Also the first 17 miler after my 60th Birthday.

So now I am on a weekend shift, with plenty of time to take care of yard work, cook, and ride!

Very nice.. I just started last year and found my first outdoor this year was 5 mile, and my second was 11 miles. Which is great because my weekday last year was about 8-10 and my weekend was around 20. I feel I am almost able to pick up where I left off. feeling good. Hope you get many miles in...
