Back in the Saddle Again

Finally getting back into the cycling groove after not riding for over 3 weeks due to sickness and weather. The warmer, sunny weather has been a welcomed change. The riding has been a bit hard, but slowly getting back to normal. Some inspirational reading from the Practical Pedal helped. Reading their latest edition about winter cycling made me glad to have the nice weather that I have to ride in. Even though they publish their issues online, I subscribed to their print edition also. I know it uses trees, uses transportation to deliver, etc., but there is still something about holding a printed paper, book or whatever, and turning the pages, reading it front to back. Especially when feeling lousy like I was, lying on the couch reading a paper was much easier than trying to sit at a computer reading a screen.
I also learned today that I can fit a case of Girl Scout cookies in my messenger bag...and my lunch...and a change of clothes. Pretty sweet!
