I rode all last week, but my oh my it was nice to go out today in shorts and a sleeveless jersey! I appreciate my nice warm tights and base layers and shoe covers, but there's nothing like flying along in the summer clothes!

I had my first ride for the season a few days ago. It was so great to get back out there, then the last two days the rain has come in. Oh, well I will live vicariously through you all for a few days I guess. I have a ride planned this weekend so hopefully it will clear up before then.

Indy: Silver and I did 54 miles in the Evansville area. Weather was perfect (but windy)!!!!!

Spring has arrived!!!

I also believe last week was a record mileage week for Silver as well!!!!

Yeah, spring has come to visit for a few days in SD, too. I've been riding the last three days in shorts. Biking leaves me with a light heart and a positive attitude.

Mr. Silver and Silver: Any chance that you're doing the Harmony Hundred in May? That's about as close to Evansville as I'll be this year.....

Spring isn't here to stay on the Jersey shore but FINALLY - today - I had both time and weather cooperating and I could get out for the first real ride out of doors.

I waffled a bit at the beginning, it was still early, damp, I could smell the salt hanging in the air. Was sitting on my bike outside my house thinking it was still a little too chilly (I'm a fair weather rider

) My neighbor came out, she's laughing.. "Just go!!"

So I did.. 25 miles.. sun coming out.. warmth.. total bliss. Saw a couple of girl roadies riding together coming in the opposite direction, we all waved.. HUGE smiles on their faces, I couldn't help but laugh cause I knew I probably had the same smile on mine.

Nice way to begin the season, can't bear the thought of bringing my Girl back down to the basement now. Forecast looks grim for the next week though so.. *sigh* back down we'll go.

Oh! FYI - I kept hearing "Take the lane!!" in my head (from another TE thread) and laughing as I rode through this intersection or that one.

I went on my first Mtn. Bike ride ever this week! I have been a roadie for about 3 or 4 years and just got my Mtn. bike last week. I also road my road bike off the trainer for the first time this year. The weather has been great and it is a joy to be out. I will say that Mtn. biking has put a hurting on me! I have only ridden twice and I am all bruised up....I am assuming I will quit falling as I get better! It's has been great fun so far....even with the scrapes and bruises

Ride on!

That's cool Jessica. The MTB bug hasn't bitten me yet, but I imagine it's just a matter of time...

Have fun on all your bikes!

Wow- great to hear from all the "high" rides. me, too- Started last year, hybrid, now road bike. This last week got to get out 3x in a row- HIGH, HIGH, HIGH- wooohooo. Felt great to be on the road. Spinning classes are nothing in comparison to cycling along the beautiful winding, hilly roads of New Paltz.
