I too, was happy to get out on the road with my husband today. It was his first road ride of the year although I have braved a couple of days. The wind was pretty nasty but the temps were in the mid 60's which is almost normal for use this time of year instead of the arctic feeling temperatures we have been having, and the sun was out. All of the cattle are out grazing in the fields and we even saw some buffalo.

Himself had a pretty graphic example that even 4 days of spin class a week, although it may make him strong, does not build speed or endurance the same way just getting out a couple of times a week and pounding it, but he is trying to get in shape for a charity ride at the end of March so hopefully he will go out again before then.

It was a good ride, and nice to be out just with him. My FIL lives with us, so we don't get much private time except at night in bed. Riding out together gives us an opportunity to just hang out and noddle with what is going on with each of us.
