    We did a 25.6 mile ride today, same as yesterday, but a completely different ride.
    Since we don't celebrate Easter, we always take this day to do a very quiet ride, but since Easter was so early, we didn't go out this morning, as it was 28 degrees here! After waiting until almost 2 PM to start, we noticed that there was a little more traffic than we expected, but it died down after awhile.
    We rode to our old house, the long way and back an even longer way. All very familiar roads through Acton, Boxborough, West Concord, and Concord. The way there is all slightly uphill and we were riding directly into the wind, coming from the west. It was much less than yesterday, but still a bit of a factor. The way home is all down hill until we get to our street. I felt stronger than yesterday, despite the fact I had a stitch in my side, and I had to pee until we got back to Concord Center and I used the public rest rooms there. We rode past several friend's houses, but didn't want to disturb anyone celebrating the holiday or stop and maybe feel like I didn't want to ride home after that!
    My average was exactly the same as yesterday and my husband is still keeping me under control and making me follow the PT's orders. I actually enjoy riding slower and taking the pressure off of myself, but I know after a couple of weeks I will be itching to build back up.

    Hah!, Robyn.....We were braver than you! nyah nyahhh
    Beautiful sunny windy day....started our ride this morning at 25 degreesF and rode 21 miles. I had to wear 3 pairs of gloves to keep my fingers from freezing. Thank goodness for wool!
    I am trying to get back from my 2 months of winter non-riding. My second Spring ride was today, and my sit bones were pretty sore from yesterday, and my legs are not used to the hills again yet. But not as bad as I had feared. My fitness walking all winter and my roller skating all must have helped keep me from getting too soft and sassy and fat.
