First outdoor ride of 2012

12 miles. Just under 45 minutes. I had forgotten how much "real" hills hurt the first time each year. Beautiful day, though, and fun to be out!

I have to walk 0.7 miles to the tar road.  I hide my  shoes by the stop sign while I ride. 

Changing my shoes on the side of the road.  

See, my aerobars are good for something, even if I am too much of a wienie to  actually get down and ride in them.  All loaded up and ready for the walk back up the gravel road to home.
