2011’s First ride

Well, I finally got on the bike this evening.  I slept in this morning, waking up at 8 o’clock so was too late to do any sort of riding before work.  My objective was to do 20km and it seemed tough doing the constant pedalling.  You forget how much coasting and stopping you do out on the streets.  The last ride I did was back in November so the legs are definitely out of practice.  I think 20km is a bit too short but I shall do that for a week to get the leg muscles working again.  I have yet to come up with my winter training plan and I definitely need to get that done ASAP.

It is supposed to snow again tomorrow so doubt I’ll be able to get outside at the weekend.  It may not snow much so we shall see.  I want to test the new boots to see how they keep my feet warm.  I just found out that it is not due to start snowing until 11am so I may be able to sneak a short ride in the morning.  Fingers crossed.
