Warm Week in March

An abrupt end to winter and almost 2 feet of snow. I rode almost every day this past week, alternating between the road bike and the hybrid, ( think I will name my bikes-they are too special to not have names). My only regret is that I could not get anyone to ride with me. I know most bikers feel it is odd to ride with snow on the curb, but if the roads are clear, I don't care at all. I don't even see the snow after a while, focusing instead on how good it feels to be on the road again, enjoying the warm fresh air. Weather like this is a blessing meant to be accepted and used. Thank you weather god/goddess.

My longest ride was from Fairport to Pumkin Hook, which was quite hilly and I fought the wind as well. Back pain started before I finished and I realized how important it is for me to keep up the physical therapy exercises I learned last year. I also attended a yoga class at Breath in Pittsford and will try to incorporate some of the stretches into a daily routine. Olga joined me and we had some social time afterward at the juice bar. She is such a good friend-I hope we will ride together this year.

Mileage for the week: Road bike was 39 miles, Hybrid was 25 miles. Not bad.
