Back on the Bike

The days are getting longer and the temps are getting warmer..hooray!

It's finally time to get back on the bike and squeeze my fatass back into my riding shorts! I got a good ride about 2 weekends ago, myself and a friend put in just over 20 miles riding the BOT loop. It felt good, I wasn't terribly sore and only ran out of gas briefly after pushing myself to hard.

Yesterday I decided to get a quick ride in before dark. I ended up doing the 6 mile loop near my home. I concentrated on the hills because I need to prepare myself for the upcoming Cheaha Challenge in May. Overall I felt good about my performance because I was able to climb the mile long hill going home without standing and without a break.

I just need to keep it up and through in another lap.
