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!!!!

Yes, I feel your pain Indy girl. I'm in Cincinnati. High of 72 today. I rode my bike to work FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER today and then I meet the regular club ride after work. I'm certainly starting to rack up the miles! Yippee.

Last Friday was gorgeous here. I came to work alll giddy and my bosses insisted I leave by 2 so I could GO RIDE!

I love my bosses!

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!!

I also am welcoming Spring in even if on the calender is not for another week. I am so happy for DST as I am running home to take a short bike ride also. I think we can all feel one anothers excitement.

Sulis, my husband and I were in Utah a few years ago. I think it is a beautiful state. In fact we scuba dived in a crater I think in Park City. I guess if we ever come again, we will need to bring our bikes.

What everyone else said!

Our cycling group had their first official ride on Sunday and it was wonderful! Another ride this afternoon (leaving the office in 30 minutes!). My bike, Godiva, got all spiffied up for the season last weekend with a new headset, saddle & bar tape. She's calling my name....
