The period of rest that was recovering from being burnt out turned into a bit of a long spell without any good riding. I fell into a rut and couldn't find the motivation to pull myself out. The weather was cold, the sun wasn't out when I could be, and heck, it's easy to sit on the couch or in front of the computer.
The sun is out longer now and spring is showing itself if but through some small cracks in the cold. Along with some new parts for the bikes I'm getting rather excited to spend some time outside. That, and it's getting mighty tough to sit still.
I've been getting out a little bit here and there. I don't know that I'm quite up for training as of yet, but it sure is nice to get out and enjoy some time rolling around on two wheels. As painful as they were, the couple of hours I spent riding this afternoon gave me some time to think a little about life, friends, the idea of training, and a lot about how strong the wind was.
Thursday night, Tom and I got out after work and rode some trails. I was surprised at just how long it stayed light. We did finish up in the dark and took a few videos while we were out. Click on this link to see Tom ride over the log pyramid, then crash as the video ends.
Here is a clip he got of me coming down the last hill near the exit of the trails.
