Spring Time is Here!

God, this weekend was awesome. This is where I realize the upside of suffering from seasonal affective disorder: insane mental highs based purely on sunshine and warmth. I finally pulled the cobwebs off my bike and took it out for a spin. I needed a new tube and a longer nozzle for my rear wheel, so I took it down the Bicycle Pro Shop. My friend Sarah works there, so we chatted a bit and I was on my way.



Of course, I found out quickly how out of shape I was. Imagine that, 5 months off a bike can take a toll. I probably tooled around for 10 miles or so on Saturday. On Sunday I met up with Sarah and her friend Mike to bike down to Mount Vernon. Normally this 34 mile round-trip is a nice work-out for me, but yesterday I almost died as I biked back in to Adams Morgan. Mike’s the kind of guy who averages 20 MPH on a 60 miles ride, so things got kicked up a notch. Good times.
