I went for my first ride of the year. OK, my first ride of more than a mile.

Took the "new" 86 Trek out- I was expecting to just go to the highway and back- about 5 miles round trip. I was enjoying the ride, so I figured I'd throw another mile or so onto it. After that I was enjoying it, so I kept going. After another 2-3 miles I started to realize I hadn't eaten yet, and I was pitifully out of biking shape- so I turned around- into the wind. I had an enjoyable, cold, shakey and very tired ride home.

I really dig my "new" bike.

What was odd today, I ran into around only 3 other guys on bikes (nice ones). Only one said "hi" to me, and he even beat me to saying it. The other two just looked at me when I said "hi." I'm sure they both heard me. Maybe I wasn't wearing proper enough cycling gear. *shrug*
