Last year, I managed to commute via bike pretty much every day from late April to early October. I managed to get into the best shape I’ve been in in decades. It was great.
This year? Ugh. Not so much.
A family commitment left me driving to appointments early every morning for the past 11 weeks or so. That squeezed out most daily biking, of course; I got in the occasional weekend ride, but riding once a week doesn’t have the same effect as being out there every single day.
But school’s back in session, and things are clipping along generally fairly well – so yesterday, it was back in the saddle.
And…ugh. I feel like it’s mid-April all over again. Although to my credit, I managed the end-of-day climb up Cathedral Hill without any huffing and puffing, so maybe I held up better than I thought.
Anyway – the plan is to ride every possible day until the weather makes it utterly impossible – and by utterly, I mean “drifts over my 27″ wheels”.
Or at least that’s what I mean at the moment.
