The roads you see in these photos are all secondary roads so not much traffic.<br /><br />We all add a bit of weight over the winter regardless of how hard we might try to maintain our weight.

It's a whole mile+ with only a modest upgrade but it's still a shock to the system after not riding all winter. Bravo on your physical maintenance!

I am guessing though that the traffic is fairly light? I need to get my bike off the basement mount and outdoors, it is almost time here in ON. I put on weight (caregiver bod) that I need to lose, and fortunately things are better with Kay now that I can think about these things. Thanks for the good example!Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-19298666495124720682017-04-21T06:04:51.625-07:002017-04-21T06:04:51.625-07:00I like it!I like it!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-19664551117989099562017-04-21T06:04:16.113-07:002017-04-21T06:04:16.113-07:0085 degrees on Easter?
