Well…no, this isn’t a political one….not yet anyway…just couldn’t take riding in the basement anymore so I took the bike off the trainer and took it outside this morning for my recon run of the trails…well…that didn’t work…the trails are still ice covered but I did a couple of miles in the old Butterworth dump before starting back..but, then it dawned on me that I could ride in the bike lanes on the streets around here and I did about 10 miles out there…it was cold and wet but outdoors is still just better than riding on the trainer…felt good to use the bike…shifting gears and using the brakes while leaning it and having to balance…so, I need to go out to HF and get some small zip ties so I can move the computer pickup back to the front wheel and just see how long I can ride on the streets…my head and lungs feel lots better after the fresh air cleared some of the allergens out and I hope that will help all day….more later…
