I've had a real on-again/off-again year so far. I've been off for the better part of three months due to a series of health issues, but yesterday I had my first ride back. It was slow, but it wasn't painful. It included a good short climb, which I had no trouble getting up. So on the whole I was pleased, and it felt so good to be out there moving again!

Incidentally, we're in winter here. Yesterday was beautiful, and I was able to ride in shorts and short sleeves.
