Monday was my first ride of the year. Kate and I went to the Toronto Bike Show on the weekend, and with the weather being unseasonably warm (high of 6C on Saturday!), and with my new LHT on order, I couldn't stand it any more!
The commute in to work was good. A bit cold, but good. My eyes watered a bit from the cold at first, and I think I had a tear freeze on my cheek, but I didn't get hypothermia or anything. I rode through a LOT colder weather last fall before I put the bike away for the winter. I was comfortable by the time I got to the office.
The ride home was nicer. 8C outside, no wind to speak of, bright, bright sun and I had the path mostly to myself. The ice that I had to slowly navigate over on the way in to work had become large puddles that I had to steer around. I prefer the water to ice. No one slips on water.
I reset the bike computer while at work yesterday, but before I did, I wrote down the odometer reading: 2273.3 km, or just over 1400 miles. Not a great number, but certainly a good starting point. I expect to double that this year, at least.
