Second ride after a short hiatus

This weekend, I managed to squeeze in two rides.  Not long rides by any measure, but nonetheless, it felt good to be able to get back on the road on two wheels.  I felt at ease as soon as I get back on the bike.  It has its usual sputtering moments at the start but I know how to smooth it out before taking on the ramps in my building.  Yesterday was cloudy but today, the weather was absolutely gorgeous.  I was hovering around 2C or somewhere there but with my winter mitts, it felt absolutely warm.  There is still one thing I am not fully comfortable with still, and it's when I got on the highway, it felt like the wind will blow me away.  I wonder if that's how everyone feels and just gets used to it.

Spring is in the air

We are days away from spring!  My bike has been sitting in the garage for 1.5 months now ever since the big snow of February.  On my way to work, I noticed that most of the snow has already melted away.  It's time for my bike to see some sun rays this weekend.  So, where am I going to go?  Grocery shopping with it?  Hmm.. a little pathetic.  I gotta find some place to ride to and inhale the fresh clean air of winter-still.
