Having the wind in my hair is one thing, but having a dress flutter around my legs in a summer breeze is just the bees knees (so to speak). I got given plenty of space on the busy stretch of road too.
Almost... I was out of town for another week, and am now home with a cold... AND it's cold outside. So I'm being a wimp (I think it's smart) and waiting for it to warm up a bit here so I don't have to invest in cold weather gear just yet... 4 degrees Celsius (here in Toronto) doesn't beckon me outside when I'm sick. But I'm super excited, and may get my BF to help me get on the trainer this weekend to get used to my new position.

YAY for riding in a real dress!! That must have been SO fun - I can't wait to report on that kind of thing this summer!

Come on WARM weather, I am waiting for you!
