The ride today was beautiful. Not too warm but bright and sunny. After two weeks off, with very little riding I had expected it to be tough getting back up to speed, but actually, after the first day's ride I'm feeling good.
Cycling also seems to be a pretty good way to help re-adjust after a long flight and change of time zone - California to England in my case. Perhaps commute rides help to re-establish a regular activity pattern for the body clock.
Cheers all,
Ed
