Today I rode to work for the first time in a while. It felt good to be on my bike spinning along. I certainly need the exercise, but the chilly morning air made my ears hurt. I’m going to try riding to work more often. When I was in shape the ride would only take about 20 minutes, which is very close to what it takes to drive. Today it took closer to 30 minutes. sigh. That is what I get when I don’t ride for a couple months.

Part of my drive to ride to work is that I recently found the website for the Island Cup race series. There are several races I want to enter and from races past I know that being in shape makes it a lot more fun for me. There is actually a race on March 15 that I was tempted to enter. Unfortunately I will be in Vancouver that weekend for a Collective Soul concert.
