First Ride of the Year!!!<\/p>\n
Sorry for the long winter hibernation (on the blog) but I didn’t have that much to write about in the off season. But it’s 52 degrees right now here in Chicagoland and I just did my first ride of the year!<\/p>\n
This was pretty much a warm up ride to get my legs back. I walk alot (outdoors) in the winter to stay in shape but riding is a whole different thing. Anyway, I did a little 13 mile ride in the subdivisions by me since the roads seemed fairly dry.<\/p>\n
I also checked out the trail behind our house, that connects to the Algonquin and Paul Douglas trails and it was also pretty dry. There was a lot of leaves, dirt and branches left over from the thaw but it looked pretty good so I think that my next ride will be out on the trails.<\/p>\n
I am starting this blog post for casual ride stories (I like having a place to post this kind of blog but I don’t want my blog to be nothing but ride stories so\u00a0I’ll be adding comments to this post for additional ride stories).<\/p>\n
For those of you who don’t know, I welcome other people ride stories too but I haven’t really received any yet. I can see by my blog stats that I have quite a few people visiting this blog but not that many contributions. I understand that and that is perfectly fine, but if you would like to comment, feel free and I’ll approve\/post your comments (unless they are just spam).<\/p>\n
Well, riding season is here and let the rides begin!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
