Back in the saddle. Butt isn’t as sore. 10 miles today. Maybe it’s the imagination, but not as much sucking of wind on the inclines today. Gotta be the imagination. Or I’m just remembering what it’s like to do some physical work.

Sore butt. 7 miles again today. Suddenly noticing the terrain, such as there is in Madison. Also, noting which roads are in good shape and which are not.

Yesterday I purchased my first new road bike since high school over 20 years ago. Goal: get out and get active. I have great memories of biking in rural southern Wisconsin during high school and college.

I plan to ride 3-4 times/week. Today was a break-in day, getting to know the new “clip-less” pedals and reminding muscles and joints what it feels like to ride. Only 7 miles.
