Woooot - second ride of the year today! Sadly, however, somehow I lost my leg warmers in the drive from my apartment to my ride location. I had decided to wait until I got there to decide if I should wear them...and I REALLY needed them! My legs/knees were colder after 4 miles than when I started - and I was pushing it on the bike. Sooooo, I wimped out and came home. My knee starts getting cranky if they aren't warm and, silly me, I thought 59 degrees was warm enough to just have shorts on.

Three positive things about my ride - one was I was riding Second - I like my new shorts even better than I thought (though they need a long ride test) AND... much to my surprise I broke 13mph for my average speed. Granted, the ride was under 30 minutes....but my first spring rides in the past have all been <12 for an average speed - so my gym work must be helping. Either that or the cold legs were a strong incentive to pedal faster and harder

Ooooh Marni - you have FLOWERS!!!! Sweet! We aren't there yet...
