First Outdoor Bike Ride of 2013

It finally happened–despite freezing cold temperatures and mild sniffles, I took a ride outside. It felt good to be 'real' biking (as opposed to this synthetic, plastic biking I do indoors to train). My adrenaline pumps harder, I go quicker, and I always have more fun! Luckily for me, work/school is about 75 minutes away by bike (if I take the highway), so it makes for a solid workout. Hopefully the weather continues to improve and I can do this more and more!

For those playing the home game, my workouts in January have looked like this:
