I've been holding this in. Explanation first. I work a 9 to 5 job. So cycling is limited to early a.m. or weekends. In the a.m. it is only for a short time cuz I have a child to take to school.

Anyway, last week, my daughter had to be at school early, so I got to work early, finished most of my 'stuff'. I left around 9:00 a.m., went home, changed and went riding for 2.5 hours. It felt great! The weather was around 75 degrees and sunny, clear. No traffic cuz everyone was a school/work. Got home, showered, went back to work. Was in a great mood all day! No one could figure out why.

Ok, confession over. I'm busy this week so will to do this again try again next week. This is a big deal to me, cuz I never get to ride very much during the week.
