Finally off the sofa and on the bike. I just got back from my first side of the season, 20 miles with a coffee break at the half way point. It felt great to be back on the bike, but I sure can tell that I haven't been rideing all winter. I was pretty slow compared to last year and I'm sure my sit bones will be a bit sore shortly. (I do have a trainer and my bike sat on it all winter, if only I would have sat on the bike!) I have a hard time figuring out how warm to dress for different conditions. Today it was 55-60 F. I seemed to get it right, light smartwool base layer with a heavier Hind layer over it. Tried out the new Terry Bella knickers I got as a Christmas present. They were very nice. I wore a pair of wool knee high ski socks with them to cover the rest of my leg.
