Winter Training

It's still pretty bitter cold in Southeastern Massachusetts but on this rare snowless day, we decided to wipe the dust of the bikes and go for a mini training spin. It had been months since either of us had been in the saddle (unless you count my spin classes at the gym or Frank's trainer workouts in the basement). We went out for a little over an hour through the pot-holed streets of Norwell and Hingham. Overall it was great to get out there; the sun shown on us for a good part of the ride. I sort of kicked Frank's ass on the hills and flats which felt pretty good. I learned that my spin classes are getting me into decent shape. Frank learned that he needs to stop drinking beers and watching surf videos during his "workouts". We're both getting excited for the onset of spring and to get our butts in better shape.
