We are supposed to be getting a ton of snow on Tues/Wed, so it doesn't look like I'll be out riding anytime soon.
I am preparing to go on a hike with a friend and her dog, but even though my hip is troubling me today I HAD to get on the bike. I only rode around the apartment complex and really wasn't dressed for it - but it's been a month... I was pleased to note that I haven't forgotten how to ride AND my hip pain went away as soon as I started pedaling

I may have ridden as far as a mile...and if it had not become VERY apparent that the shoes I use for my BMX pedals are far too ventilated for riding in 34Fdegree temperatures I would cancel the hike with my friend and go riding instead. We are supposed to get a ton of ice, or snow, on Tue/Wed so it looks like it will be longer before I get to ride again. Spring IS coming though
