Took the previous 3 full weeks off due to being out of the country getting married and in Croatia on honeymoon.
Finally cycled to work Thursday and Friday, having needed the car the first few days this week (jet lagged Monday, softball game straight after work Tues, and general errand on Wed.)

I'm completely bushed. 3 weeks off def drops your fitness level, despite the fact that we did some kayaking and mtn biking, plus lots of swimming.

My ride in is mainly uphill, with the downhills coming on the way home. After 4-5 months of biking almost constantly, I hardly realized this fact, it was all easy. This week was a stark reminder!

Getting psyched to get my fenders and lights on, and start layering, and see how far into winter I can push it- I'm shooting for year round with the exception of the snowy days.
