I forgot how long I had been off the bike, I had to do so much prepping for the bike ride, it took me several hours... By the time I was finally ready the sun had been down a few hours and the temps was also way down! was like a newbie heading out way under dressed, I was just so happy to be out and didn't want to go back to add some layers and put the bar mitts on. I felt like I didn't know how to ride a bike, I was wondering all over the place when no cars were coming up on me. Wishful thinking that I would not be in any pain never happened. I really enjoyed the burn in the legs as I attempted to keep the pedals spinning, I didn't enjoy all the body aches from a broken down body but once the burn got to a certain point I didn't feel all the joint aches any longer, that was nice! Nice to finally be back on the saddle after a too long hiatus. Onward to the next adventure... Be safe and enjoy the ride!
