First Ride

After picking up the bike from the shop yesterday, I went out riding for about an hour with my friend Chris. It was the first day in months where it was bearable outside. I wanted to get acquainted with the bike and also get used to the speedplay's. I need to ride more. I'm not feeling too strong and/or confident. It's really nice out today, so I'm going out again at like 12:30.

Today could be considered the official start of bicycle season here in New York. The New York Spring Series opened today in Central Park. It's killing me I'm not there to participate. But after my ride yesterday, it's probably a good thing I didn't race.
