Well, its not here yet, but today, its sunny about 50ish out. I'm stuck inside working, and the sun will be preparing to set when I head home, but that's ok. Its a taste of what's just a matter of weeks away.
I'm trying to prepare for spring. My goal this year is to ride at least 2,000 miles on my bike.
If you're not a cyclist, that may sound like a lot. Its not really, because if you do even a few longer rides the miles add up fast.
As of today with a guesstimated average of 10mph on my indoor trainer I'd done a paltry 37.7 miles or thereabouts in the last 8 days.
I'm hoping to have a few hundred under my legs by the time it gets nice enough for me to ride out regularly.
I've missed biking the last few years and not only because I've put on more than a few pounds. There's a peacefulness associated with it that I don't get from any other form of physical activity. Its very theraputic, which while my life isn't overly stressful is something we can all use.
Looking forward to the coming time when its in the 50s every day. Then instead of getting up early and wandering to the basement, I can wander outside and put in a few miles.
We'll see how close to my goal I get.

That's a great goal! I think my goal is, in addition to bike commuting every day, actually ride for fun some again. I love bike commuting, but I miss rolling through the countryside going wherever I please!
Also, sunny and 50s sounds plenty warm to get out and ride. ;-) (Just wear gloves.)
