First ride of "The Season"! Outside, that is. Went with Nina-- last year, we each did our first ride of the season on the same day, but separately... we realized it at a party later that day :)

This year's first ride was much nicer than last-- I was in short sleeves (and wind vest) and knee warmers-- no foot warmers, even! The roads were pretty dry, though at one point I hit a monster puddle covering a HUGE pothole, and thought I was going down for a second. Ended up just soaking my foot :P

We each pulled half and half. My legs and lungs both felt great, though I had a bit of a cough later (not much, cleared up by today). I felt even better considering I was pretty jetlagged still from my trip the day before (and had just driven 5 hours from Chicago!).

The numbers are a pretty accurate estimate, based on Nina's computer (mine is still on the fritz). She had about 2 miles extra, between our houses, but the 15.3 mph is correct.
