Made it back to NY successfully but body doesn't seem to like the cooler weather and currently find myself under the weather. Had planned on riding the trainer for a couple more weeks and finishing my weight training as the ground hog predicted another two weeks of winter, but it appears we will get a week of spring weather earlier. It got up to near fifty today with bright sunshine and a light variable wind, so bundled up and headed out on the road bike. Thought about starting to work on my climbing but my quads were still feeling two days of weight training. Opted for a short ride and an easy climb up through Johnson Hollow. Headed out up the valley and quickly ran out of energy. Tried fighting the bike to keep the speed up, but that never works for me. Ended up resigning myself to just finishing the ride. Roads were mostly dry and only ran into a few damp sections. Snow is mostly gone but the road still sparkles from a coating of salt. The easy climb turned out to be harder than anticipated and progress was less than good. Once I got over the climbing half of the ride the muscles loosened up a bit and the riding was more enjoyable. Sun kept things warm and only got a little cold on the long downhill to Watkins and along the cliffs on the way back to town as the sun had already passed over the ridge. Was a little disappointed with the pace of the ride but happy with the early fair weather.
