"Looks good"

Yeah, but don't let looks get in the way of the truth.

Gary and I got out for a good 50 mile ride on the fix gears Monday what was great, a good mix of hills....some long and steady but some short and not so steady.

After that I wanted to just spin the legs out yesterday, but with temps in the low 30's and winds in the 20-30 mph range I was stuck inside on ther trainer. I've never been a big fan of the indoor trainer but after hearing Jason's thoughts I had to rethink things.

"I've come to the conclusion that riding the trainer is sort of like having sex with a blow up doll..... It's not real, and you feel pretty stupid while doing it, but the end result is pretty much the same."

.

And yeah it was the same as always, it felt "stupid...but the end result" was the same. So this morning I was dying to get back outside in the saddle, and with the weather "looking" like this I was off.

It was cold.......and by cold I mean it was 20 when I rolled out of Doylestown down toward the river. Down on river road I found a couple of spots like this..

..but after walking/skating thru them things were good. I wanted to get in a good hour plus of hill work and that's all I got as more weather came rolling in.

Heading back up to town I had a nice little headwind of about 10-15 mph, but that was ok. I knew what I had waiting for me when I got home....a nice hot shower and a trip to see my boy Geoffrey for a massage and some stretching of the legs.
