    Being in California, I'm lucky in that I'm able to ride all winter. But today being the first workday of Daylight Savings Time, I was able to ride outdoors after work for the first time since DST ended last Fall. No more being stuck in the gym! Yay! The great weather today made it doublely awesome.

    Glad you guys are able to get out there & ride too. Take care.

    yep

    I could not get off today. I got stuck by 3 trains today which gave me an excuse to almost get a traspassing ticket and to circle the park while the boys played rugby. sweet. but once I got of the trail it was fabulous.

    p.s. I quit rugby to bike!

    I didn't sing, but I got so excited before the ride that I started jumping around like a crazy person. I'll likely have a repeat performance on Sunday when the local bike club has its first ride of the season. I get to see lots of cycling friends that I haven't seen since November. Yippie!!!!

    That's awesome. My boss sometimes takes "pity" on me when it's gorgeous out, my work is done, and I start sighing while staring out the window. I'm trying to pace myself though and "abuse" his good graces only when necessary (like when it's beautiful out on Friday but is supposed to rain all weekend).

    I love that the weather is finally turning nice, but can feel myself already going a little nuts, too. If last year is any guide, I will spend the next 9 months thinking obsessively about the next ride/fix. Even when I've already ridden on a given day, I stare longingly at other riders that I see on the road while I'm driving. Jeez, I feel like a junkie.

    I just snuck out for a lunchtime ride and feel wonderful. Not the first ride of the year, but the first with a sleeveless jersey!!!

    Happy dance.

    These are the days I'm so grateful to work early morning hours. Yeah, being to work at 6am can be hard some times...but getting off by 3 is soooo worth it.

    I sped home from work, and was changed and ready to ride within 10 minutes. It was so spectacularly gorgeous. It felt so amazing to be off the trainer and outside in the beautiful sunshine! Welcome spring!!
