Well I got back on the bike last night. I was on the trainer for about an hour doing a hill workout. Right after the last interval and cool down came onto the screen, my bike almost fell out of the trainer. One of the little rubber grommets that holds everything together, worked its way loose. My cool down was me bent over trying to fix this thing. Something I do not wish to repeat right after an extremely difficult hill interval. Either way, it was a good time and something I needed to do.

Today it is about 50 degrees when I left my house so I am back on the commuter plan. Sure, I get to ride a bike to work, but I would certainly feel better about it if it wasn’t a 1.5 mile, 6 minute ride. Either way, I get to pedal the bike everyday and thats what it is all about. The rain this past week and hopefully the warmer temps this week should just about kill all of the snow in the area, so we are now entering the second season of the year, mud season.  Hopefully things will dry out soon because I am starting to get a little itchy to get on the mountain bike.  That could be because I am starting to travel to mountain bike events and my brand new Vicious Cycles Groover should be in the mail today.  As soon as I get it, I will take some pics of it and get them posted.  The color that it is painted that was quoted to me as being “screaming orange”.  I can’t wait…..
