I got to do the 40 (but it was really 46) mile Worst Day of the Year Ride with my sweetie, something that rarely happens these days. A perfect Valentine's treat!

And the weather was actually pretty great, all things considered. The rain stopped just as we started, and there was even some sun by the end.

It was the maiden voyage on my bike with my new 11-speed groupset, and boy did I need it. I would NOT have made it up the biggest hill on the ride without my new compact double and some extra gears. Oof. But it was a great ride. Didn't think I was that sore until I hopped on the xtracycle with the boys to go to the grocery and could barely peddle home.
