My 2009 cycling season has begun!

Despite a lingering upper respiratory infection, I took a half day off of work yesterday to officially start my 2009 cycling season. In near record temperatures in the low-60s with moderate southerly breezes, I rode 14.6 miles on local streets. With snow melt and soggy grounds everywhere, I didn't dare ride on anything but pavement. Despite the fact that I hadn't ridden in three months and (unlike last year) hadn't regularly exercised to stay fit, I felt good on the bicycle and kept up a good pace. It was great to be back on the saddle!
