First ride for 2009 and I felt really BAD! Rode 22 rather uncomfortable miles on the bike trail in Sacramento and I didn't expect to be this out of shape already. I haven't ridden outside since mid-December, but I've been on the trainer some (ok, not that much...I HATE the trainer...but I've been spinning a couple times a week) and I've been walking and skiing quite a bit, so I was hoping I wouldn't lose all my conditioning. I have a metric with hills coming up April 4 and now I'm really worried. Despite the discomfort, it did feel really good to be back out on the bike.
