Cobweb Caravan

The first bike ride of the season is in the books!

And it felt really good. I was a bit rusty, and a little cold, but it was still good.

I decided last night to ride my bike to a 6:30 a.m. RIPPED class, knowing it should take me about 45 minutes and that it was light enough by 5:45 a.m. to be safe on the road.

Cobwebs? Yup. On my bike, between the handlebars after a long winter in the garage. In my head, as I had to remember how to shift and pace. On the trail, strung side to side and sticking to my face as I broke through them, first one on the trail for today.

A short 8.3 miles later, I was there.

The ride home was even better. Warmer, sunnier and the cobwebs, for the most part, were gone.

Spring is officially here.
