It was the first rideable day in two weeks. We spent the bulk of the week dealing with an ice storm that shut the city down. But today it was sunny, lows in the 40s but highs in the 60s. YES! We had a club ride scheduled at 1:30 which was perfect for taking advantage of those highs. So, I got to ride in shorts and a short sleeve jersey, and feel the sun beating down on me. I was even HOT during the first few climbs as I struggled to warm up. It was a tough ride given we had 2 weeks off the bike and it starts out with a steep climb (helotes to toutant beuraguard to bourne to helotes), but it just felt so good to be out on a bike and after ~10 miles I was in a groove. Got 37 miles in for the day, FINALLY!

I logged just over 20 miles on my bike/trainer today. My living room is not very scenic and the only wildlife I encountered was my cats and they were fast asleep on the couch. Basically another boring day in paradise.

A very cold ride (25 degrees), starting at sunrise. Quite to my surprise, all the layering I did kept me warm during the entire 3 hours or so that I was out! Because snow was predicted for the afternoon, I got in a solid 43 mile ride. Unfortunately, the snow came, as did some ice, so the trail conditions will be unsafe for at least a few days (more realistically, it probably will take a week until the trail is fairly clear unless we have a decent warm up). Back to Coach Troy and my trainer.
