If you want time to speed up, then don't watch the clock. Easier said than done! On Friday we leave for our annual trek south, for 10 days of warmth(80 degrees vs 22 today), riding and over all fun. Unfortunately, right now I'm watching the pot boil, so time is now standing still.
With the snow melted away for the most part, riding is a bit more pleasurable than last March.

Yet until things warm up some more, distances are not as enjoyable as they could be. Base miles are the key to these rides, getting the lungs and muscle memory back to normal. The time in the gym is showing great rewards, with much of what I've learned over the winter panning out very well. I'm seeing remarkable improvement so far, even tho I'm still putting it all together. Seat time is all that is needed now and that will come in a large dose next week.
I'm looking forward to starting the randonnuering series, it will be very interesting how I respond to the 3rd and 4rth rides in this series. Once again I will have a very aggressive ride schedule this year. Whats the sense of riding the same old same old, when you can explore the rest of the world from the saddle.... Plans are to ride in 6 states/ Provence's, a few week long and a few weekend getaways.
