Here me roar! I feel like a hibernating bear...well thats exactly what I did I hibernated. I did not bike commute most of the winter. I took this winter off to focus on my studies taking carpool or my own car. I really did not want to fiddle with bike commuting during winter. I just wanted to focus on getting a nice A+ on my transcript which I did. Today was my first bike commute in sense November I was still able to keep pace, although when I got to work I was sucking air big time!
