It's great to be back on the bike after about a week off (sprained groin). Monday things felt a little akward but now I feel just as strong if not stronger, I guess the rest did my legs some good. I played hookie yesterday and spent the morning on one of my favorite mountain bike trails. Although this trail is pretty rocky and rootie, and a brief rain shower made things potentially treacherous, I had a fantastic ride. I spoke with a coworker who started commuting recently and told me how it's changed his life-he love's it. He asked for some pointers and, since taking it up, hasn't looked back. I'm really excited for him and realize how my friend must have felt when she talked me into it. Other than that, my ride in was uneventful and I'm hoping to avoid the T-storms forecast for this afternoon.
