First ride today in over a month!

Nearly all of my business this winter has been within short walking distance from home, included the work commute. Taking that into account with a lack of motivation to take any cold/wet weather leisure rides, I can only regret that I haven’t really been riding at all.

Today however, brought the opportunity get peddling as I had an appointment across town. Paperwork at admins for a new job which will actually necessitate riding to and from. Looking forward to it!

Clear. Dry. Low 40’s. And no wind. Today was a cool enough ride to warrant an outer top shell, a wool cap, and gloves, but was otherwise lovely as can be. The kind of day that reminds you what you’ve been missing. And I can’t describe how much pleasure it was to just roll right along at cruising speed. A marked bike route offered uninterrupted riding, happy leg muscles, and the scent of spring in the air. I felt very much alive. I think that bikes have a special way of doing that for us, especially if they’re C&V!
