First ride on the indoor bike…

Well…I did try to ride outdoors today and got out about 8:30 or so…but, the wind was blowing pretty good…about 15 that I could feel after I just turned the corner out of the alley….when I got to the point, it was blowing around 20 and that was just too brutal…so I turned around and came back after only three miles or so and decided to mow the lawn instead. After I got that done, and the mower worked perfectly,  I decided to try out the downstairs bike and get some miles in…man, I had forgotten how much harder it is to ride a stationary bike that it is outside…even on the medium magnetic drag setting I was working way harder than I do outside and only rode about 8 miles before my legs started screaming at me that they had enough…by the time I was done, I had a total body sweat going on that was like riding outside in 90 degree heat but it made me feel good that I now have options to avoid the worst of the weather and it was nice to not have to suit up to ride…I will still ride outside as long as I can but some days I’m just not motivated to freeze and this will keep me going all winter…I wonder how sore I’m going to be tomorrow?
