Today was my first day back riding after taking a nice 3 weeks off the bike. My body went through periods of feeling both good and bad while I was resting. The first couple of days off felt awesome but after about a week of no exercise my muscles started to ache and my body went into that deep recovery mood.

I was going to start riding again this coming Monday, but after hearing the weather was going to be nice this weekend I let myself get talked into doing the monthly employee ride out of Cadence bike store. When Im in Philadelphia, Cadence is basically my go to shop and it is always fun to go out for a spin with the guys who work there. This morning there was a real good turnout for the ride with almost 50 people showing up for the 8am spin. Not bad for November on the east coast!


The river looked very cold this morning!
