Hey ladies. I road yesterday for the first time since December 30th and just had to share my "high" with people who understand.

Last year, was my first year "on the bike." I started riding a hybrid in June and a road bike in late July. I ended the year with a little over 2,000 miles and a strong addiction. I've spent the last two months in snow/rain purgatory here in Indianapolis, waiting for the skies to clear and the temperature to warm.

It was worth the wait. Yesterday's ride was great, especially with my new wheels (detailed in a separate thread). I was riding with some new cycling friends, and we had a blast. I've been active all winter, but nothing compares to how I feel when I'm on my bike (well, yoga comes close). There's something about it that just makes everything else feel right in the world. I know I'm not alone here in thinking that. I'm so excited about the coming months and miles.

Anyway, after bouncing around like a crazy person from happiness both yesterday and today, I just thought I'd share. Life is good.

Kate
