Out On The Bike

Let me take you back to the 2004 Chicago Triathlon that took place last August. The reason for this stroll down memory lane is that the Chi Tri was the last time I was on my bike. Well, my biking hiatus came to a screeching halt today as the weather was finally nice enough for me to dust off the old Trek 2000, put some air in the tires and head out Clayton Road. We were able to get in 20 miles which was just enough to clear the biking cobwebs. While spinning has helped, biking outside is a different game. Legs felt pretty good. Bike needs to head over to Maplewood for a tune up. No complaints - getting 20 miles on March 6th isn't too bad.
