I went from my home to Mission Coffee and back; about 25 miles with not a heck of a lot of climbing.

I'm so enjoying riding right now -- I'm not training or anything, just toodling around enjoying the experience.

I'm taking my dear sweet time getting back in the groove, and I'm seeing a little bit of improvement nearly every time I'm heading out.

Sooner or later I'll start training for real again (the Death Ride awaits ) but in the meantime I'm getting re-acquainted with my local routes, building back my stamina and base miles, and generally having lots of fun letting myself meander.
