After the weather kept me off the bike for 9 days, I FINALLY got in a glorious 20.5 miles tonight. Hard miles too, though I didn't realize how hard until I looked at my heart rate monitor. I deliberatly steered my bike to new areas where I would have to deal with signalized intersections and traffic....and found my bike won't trip the signal sensor. I finally just became a pedestrian and walked it across.

My neck seems to be taking everything I throw at it without much complaint (outside of the Schwinn spinning bikes), so I think I can safely, and finally, start building mileage
