First fair weather bike day of the year. It felt strange. My posture is all screwed up. My right hand was uncomfortable on the hood. Normal spring stuff I suppose. I remember going through it last year as well. The whole riding position is different on the mountain bike.

But, my average speed was 2.5mph faster. It should go up a bit more as I get used to that bike again. My cadence was down to 78rpm, and I ended last season at 85rpm, so I got a bit sloppy there as well.

The past month or so I have made a concerted effort to stand up on one specific hill to pedal to the top, just to do some work on those muscles. I did that today and just shot to the top. It was pretty cool.

So, all you guys down south, feel free to keep the snow. I am done with winter. It is your turn.
