Anyone who was stuck working inside today in the DC area most likely wished they weren't. It was another stunner of the day with skies on full blue and the breeze button set to mild. My plan was to clean out a closet in the spare bedroom, but it didn't take much self-convincing to push that to another day and set out on my bike.
My bike got a major overhaul back in September, but because of wrist surgery, today was the first time I actually took it for a spin. As expected, there was nature showing off all over. I spied my first sightings of daffodils swaying in the breeze, and turtles sunning themselves on a log protruding from the shore of the Potomac. One thing I didn't expect to see was a Corgi with red sunglasses riding on the handlebars like some furry hood ornament. That was a nice distraction from the hill I was suffering through.
By the time I got back home, the feels-like temperature was 89- much warmer than I expected. It made that last hill a tough one, so tough in fact that I even walked my bike a little. At first, I was a little disappointed in myself, but in the end, I'll just use that disappointment as motivation for the next ride.
