Completed my first ride of the year. Was a short ride (23km) via the Westside/Matarawa route back of Greytown. I rode it with the mountainbike lady who is up visiting her inlaws in Masterton. I felt a bit sluggish for the first part and then warmed up. My gear (riding shorts and top) were noticably tighter. Eeek. Good to be back on the road though. Took just over an hour. But I managed to talk and ride at the same time.
Yesterday, I undertook some waterblaster therapy on my back porch, which was good for cleaning up the back porch and just a good thing to do when one feels slightly stressed to vent anger. Vent it on the wall, and get a clean wall as a result!. At one point I gave the bike a blast. The effect of that was today I noticed while I was riding my chain was rusty. Just from overnight and being on the back porch. I normally keep it in the spare room, but I've been having a bit of a "spring clean" so its tempoarily outside locked to the table! So I'll have to clean and oil it before my next ride. Probably due for that in any case.
23/10,000km - 10000 km being my primary goal that I'm working towards re road km. Will work out a flasher way to keep track of the km etc. In the meantime I'll just note it in my entries.
