Happy President’s Day my friends!  I almost said happy Sunday.  A friend of mine reminded me that this is the last federal holiday until May.  Hmmm, might need to take a day here or there before then.

Took a little break from blogging last week.  When you have been doing it this long, a break is good.  I haven’t taken a break from cycling though.  I continue to move forward.  The weather here hasn’t been great, so a lot of indoor cycling.  I was annoyed because my trainer I purchased isn’t turning out to be great and I will have to look for another…what are you going to do right?  Lot’s of gym time and finally this Sunday we had a bit (I mean a bit) of blue sky and I decided to take the new bike out for a ride.  I went back to the Mt. Vernon trail and this time there was NOTHING in my car.  I actually rode around the parking lot a couple of times because I didn’t want to leave the car alone.

I finally left the security of the parking lot and hit the trail.  All I can say is #AMAZING.  Love the Fuji Grand Fondo and the tires are a little larger than my old bike and it just handled fantastic.  Absolutely loved the ride.  Unfortunately, the temps didn’t get out of the 30s and my hands were cold even with gloves.  I was only able to get 5.56 on the trail before I had to circle back.

Love these new shoes!

Miles for the last two weeks came to 94.02.  Looking for warmer temps to expand my cycling routes.  I have completed 6466.04 and have 4848.96 miles gratefully remaining.  I hope this post finds your heart grateful and happy.  Happy Miles to You!!
