First Ride in 3 Years

Almost exactly three years to the day since I last rode a bicycle. The old carcass is seven pounds heavier since the last ride, legs are completely covered in hair, absolutely no tan. Took a while to clean the rust and dust off the bike and find my shoes, clothes, HRM and pump.

On the bright side, all the equipment worked perfectly and I had not slowed down nearly as much as I had feared. In fact, the ride seemed easy and relaxed. Didn't try to do anything heroic but cruised around a rolling 15.2 mile loop, 16.2 mph avg, HR avg/max = 132/152.
