First Ride

My first ride of the year was March 6th. About twenty miles on the nearby parkway. It felt so good!

This year has been tough. Averaging about 15 degrees below average, and with snow and ice lingering on the roadways for months.

I traditionally have a ride on New Year's Day, and usually ride once a month even in Winter. There is usually a weekend afternoon with temps in the 40's and no ice on the street. But not this year! This year the bike was parked for 4 months, beginning in November.

I can't wait to resume my daily commute on the bike.
