The first time I've been back on the bike since November of last year (!). Some of the inactivity can be attributed to a broken ankle I suffered on Thanksgiving, though I got the cast off in late January, so mostly it's been bad weather and laziness since then. However, I still felt pretty good on a short-ish ride.

..and back again.

I forgot to put this up cause I'm a slacker, but here 'tis, the last ride before MS150 time. I feel pretty well-prepared for the ride, mostly because everyone else I've talked to about it has told me that it's really fun -- nobody has yet said anything along the lines of "omigod I couldn't finish it it was so awful I just about fell over when I was done" which is what I worried I'd be hearing. So.. yeah. We'll see, I suppose.

Phew. Continuing our preparations for the MS150, decided to get in a nice long ride this weekend. This was our first time on the path out to Valley Forge, and it was pretty nice. The cool temperature (it's only like 73 out right now) helped, though the high humidity did not. Also served as a good reminder to make sure we eat/drink enough on the ride, as we both bonked a bit halfway through the ride back.

Did a lap around Fairmount Park & then I decided to get some hills in, so I went up (with UP being the operative word here) to Manayunk for a bit. The route here's just the Manayunk bit, since I didn't feel like mapping out the lap around Fairmount too.
