I'm back out there! I usually ride all winter, but ended up taking about 6 weeks off. Getting back in the saddle hurt a lot last Thursday and a bit less today. After Thursday's ride, which ended up being several miles longer than intended due to a wrong turn on a detour road, I almost couldn't carry my bike up the stairs. Today was better. I think I'll get my fitness back pretty fast. My advice to anyone who has taken the winter off, make the first ride short.
