I got in 38 miles with my hubby. A bit chilly (we hit the road at 8:30am), but it warmed up nicely. I am always amazed at how tough it is getting back on the bike, after a winter of doing only spin classes and gym workouts (TONS of cardio!). While it DOES feel great to be riding outside again...I'm a little disappointed in how much cycling fitness I have lost over the last few months. It took us nearly 3 hours (with 1 quick rest stop and fighting stop-n-go traffic the entire ride) to ride those 38 miles...which seems like a really long time for such a short distance, to me. It's hard to believe that I was doing 75-100 mile rides just last summer...when right now, 40 miles seems to be quite a struggle. It makes me doubt that I'll ever get back up to riding 75 miles again. Anyone else go through this same thing at the beginning of each riding season???
