loving the early mornings....

What a beautiful bike ride... Its a privilege to be able to fly through the country roads with the sun rising. And its cold- I was trying to get creative with keeping my legs warm without rolling on my tights, and I found some old retro knee-high socks. they were perfect, and added to my visibility.

I felt really strong on the bike- I'll have to figure how far I went. I'm thinking ~26km. From here to Hutchison to Telegraph to Cowichan Bay Rd, up Cobble Hill Rd. and home.

I LOVE MY BIKE!

I worked alot on trying to open my hips/pelvic area as I rode, because its my hips and gluteus maximus (love this muscle's name!) tend to tighten up after a ride- making running less enjoyable.

I counted my cadence twice and seem to maintain a good 90+ rpm.

53 minutes- hard riding. YAHOO! Just need a yoga session today with some core and life is beautiful.
