Not much to write today, just another great day with full sun, cloudless sky. 38 degrees. Just got out for two hours or so. About 30 miles.
Today was a recovery ride, as I've been pushing the hills pretty hard and doing a lot of sprinting. Some power walking has helped my legs settle in for the night.
Nice to have a day when you just ride at a leisurely pace, enjoying a tease of spring. We all know, however, that we are probably in for a couple more depresso- snowstorms before spring is officially here.
It's funny, you only see a lot of roadies when it's about 55 out. Today I only saw two. But today was perfectly fine, as there was no wind. Motor vehicles were all courteous team-players, but I do give myself some credit for prompting that at times.
Now that I got the link thing working, I'll be posting some cool stuff...
Here's a great cycling film from France. 1965. Let it load for half a minute until the play button appears (>) If it doesn't load, sign out then sign in again.

A totally excellent loop in NY. Rolling farmland, the Hudson River. Pizza that doesn't suck...
