We are having a lovely break from winter here so I rode twice today!

First I took my brand-spankin' new mountain bike out for her maiden voyage. Wow does it feel different than my road bike! I went about 10 miles...about half of that was paved and the other half was an unimproved old railroad right of way that will eventually be paved. I got to experience dirt, pine needles, grass, sand, small gravel, medium gravel, humongous gravel, and a couple of big scary mud holes. I stayed upright, so all was good. I think I need a few tweaks to the handlebar set-up, but everything else felt pretty comfy.

Then when I got home, I decided to take my road bike out for a spin. I only did 10 hilly miles but that was enough. I think I was very tensed up on the mountain bike ride, so I felt pretty pooped on the road bike.

We need more snow here desperately, but I must say I really enjoyed the sun today.
