Today Jay and I decided to take advantage of a rare nice day so far this year. With temps in the 50's we would have been stupid to pass it up. Jay was tired from the last couple of days of spinning class and other workouts. So I figured it would be a good opportunity to be able to ride with him instead of far behind him. I had been riding on my indoor trainer for the past month, and was getting very tired of looking at my basement walls while I peddled to nowhere.
We did 20 miles around Lake St. Louis, it was a nice up and down ride. The temperature was never an issue, and it was actually kind of nice. The training that I have been doing has helped out somewhat, and it was good to be able to stay with him on the flats. The hills are another ball game. Until I drop some serious weight I have a feeling that I will always struggle on the hills.
But, I am just happy to finally get out on the road and enjoy riding!
