Back on the bike

Well, our original goal was to commute on the bikes at least once every month in 2008, which we did. Unfortunately, January just didn't work out for us and for one reason or another we never rode the bikes to work last month (January '09).
Tomorrow it's back on the bike. I have clean clothes in the locker downstairs at my office, the bike is ready to go, I drove the route last night on my way home and aside form a bit of water, some new pot holes, and ocassional ice - I think we'll be fine!
While I have not been on the bike, I have been running to train for the Willow Tree half marathon in Providence which is coming up on May 3rd. I was never much of a runner but I have been slowly building up mileage over the past couple years and I think I'm actually starting to enjoy it. I still prefer the bike but the running is a nice change of pace. So, tomorrow I shouldn't be too sore, although the bike seat may take some getting used to after a month off the bike. We'll see soon enough.
Ride safe and keep warm!

Yup! Rode in this morning with my laptop on my back and felt awful. I hope I feel better on the way home than I did this morning!
