Dusted off the bike yesterday .

and went for a ride. It was a short, slow ride – only 15 miles. It was all I had time for before the darkness set in. I’m without a “real” bike right now, so I dusted off my old purple Cannondale that usually stays married to my trainer and took off. I haven’t really ridden since early October. The weather here was very nice – mid 70’s and sunny. I rode in shorts and a t-shirt. Just cruised around on my usual 5 mile loop. It felt great. I’ve been running exclusively since October. I guess now it’s time to start incorporating a little cycling in the routine. Swimming will start at the beginning of February. The season is fast approaching, and the excitement is starting to build.
