1. I finally feel like I'm starting to get over the cold that has been kicking my butt for the last week
and
2. I finally ventured into the great outdoors on my bike
Oh, and the weather was amazing too! Temps were in the 60's and it was sunny. I managed to get four hours of riding in today and it felt amazing to be in just shorts and a jersey. Besides the two races that I did, this was my third time riding outside since November.
Overall, my ride went really well. My legs felt pretty good and never seemed to fatigue which was a good thing. My arms and lower back, however, were a different story and my muscles started to get really tired right around the three hour marker. Lynda is going to start scheduling more long days throughout the next couple of weeks, so eventually my arm muscles should remember what it's like to hang on to a bike:-)
I'm glad I got my four hour ride in today, because the weather forecast for the rest of the week is looking nasty. I'll be back on the trainer but that's ok. My next two workouts are going to hurt so bad I might not be able to see straight!

Did you ride the road or on the trails? Off road still seems a little sticky to me. I was able to get a couple hours in on Monday and it was damn nice!
Glad to hear your feeling better.
Next 5 days in Tennessee are going to be sunny and in the 60's-70's. Gonna miss your company!
Welcome back! I bet you liked riding in your new team kit, too :)
Brian- I stayed on the roads. I tried riding part 1 of Egypt Valley but got off of it because it's still really soft.
Carey-I'm going to miss your company too! Especially since you are carrying pie with you on your rides :-)
Nam- I forgot about that part! The first ride in a new kit is the best!
