Getting Back to Business

My significant other is getting back into exercise and cycling after a two month "rest". Her ankle was badly sprained just before Christmas. Trying to exercise in cold weather is tough. You need to dress warm to start but after you ride about ten minutes you get too warm. We dress in layers. Base layer, second layer and an over layer. Plus gloves and head cover under the helmet. Remember to wear your helmet every time you ride. Serious injury can be caused even if you just fall over from an upright position.

The drill for the ride is to loop around our block two or three times. The distance of one lap is 1.5 miles. We got 4 miles today before we stopped. We'll be taking it slow for some time to come.
