first commute since June
I have been unable to ride since June.Did my first ride today. This year I have been unable to ride at all from June to late September. So far this year, I have 3400 miles in, while last year I did 8800. Anxious to get back my stregnth.
Still did not seem too bad. Was not winded, even on the climbs. During my down time, got in some trainer time, but not much.
In past, I averaged 15 mph, with 3 major climbs over 26 miles.. Yesterday, I did 10 mph. Hope it will not take more than a month to get my stregnth back.
I hope to do a ride in Arizona in late November. Gained almost 20 pounds.
Mad that I would let that happen... Do hope I can ride to work at least once a week.
Ride was pretty nice.. Light winds, high near upper 80's. As always, traffic looks best from the cycling lane.Sunny.
