So, after 3 weeks off with bike with traveling followed by bronchitis, I got out for a ride today! I was so afraid I would be so slow but for me sometimes off time is body repair time as I felt great. That doesn't mean it wasn't hard, but I as long as I made the effort I had a lot more power than I expected. It was very windy, so we were all underdressed. But with headwinds come tailwinds, so while going out was tough coming in felt so great, especially as the day warmed up and sun rose. Temps from low 50s to high 50s, winds 15-20 mph. I only did 28 miles (hilly) to be sure my bronchitis is behind me (and I did cough a fair bit out there) but it felt so good to be out there again!
