Today, in yet another attempt to ready myself for the 2009 cycling season, I bicycled on roads near my home. The weather conditions were anything but springlike, with temperatures in the mid 40s and chilly northeasterly breezes that absorbed my energy and enthusiasm as effectively as it absorbed my body heat. Although rather uncomfortable for much of the ride, I still rode nearly an hour and pushed my seasonal mileage total to 80. (I really do need some warmer clothes for these occasions!)
One statistic that makes me feel good is that at this time last year, I hadn't ridden a single mile outside of the miles I rode in Florida. Also, I'm only 20 miles behind last year at this time. Perhaps my next ride (hopefully in warmer conditions) will allow me to crack the 100 mile mark and bring me toe-to-toe with last year's April benchmark.
