After resting on a sub-freezing Saturday, I rode 55 miles in 30-40f with sunny weather on Sunday. I felt lucky to be riding at all during mid-December, and here I was on my road bike with zero snow or ice on the ground.
A 10-20 mph headwind during the return trip felt extra strong due to all the layers. The last 15 miles were really hard work.

When I ride my bike I feel free and happy and strong. I'm liberated from the usual nonsense of day to day life. Solid, dependable, silent, my bike is my horse, my fighter jet, my island, my friend. Together we will conquer that hill and thereafter the world.
