Bicycle 2 I had a good ride this morning and afternoon. The wind was light for the first time in several days. It was chilly (by Texas standards) when I set out, but the sun warmed me. The traffic is lighter on Sundays than on Saturdays, which made for less stress. I rode 53.08 miles in 3:06:38, which is an average speed of 17.06 miles per hour. I rode the same course as a week ago, when my speed was 16.29 miles per hour. I'm getting stronger by the week. I hope to have strong legs by the time of the first rally in early April. What's the weather like in your neck of the woods? Are you looking forward to spring and summer, as I am? What's your favorite thing about spring?
