Enjoying the Spring Weather

Today I went out intending to do a short 10 mile ride, but it felt so good I ended up going 18.6 instead in about 1.5 hours. It was a really nice sunny day today and not at all cold in the sun until the end of my ride when the sun started getting low. There was a pretty good wind that picked up toward the end to the point where there were gusts where I could feel myself getting pushed to the side. The half of the ride where I had a head wind was pretty slow going, but the half where I had a tail wind I felt like I was flying. I'm no longer really afraid of clipping in and out which is good because now I can go find some hills and practicing my shifting.

Here's an update on my fund-raising, I've passed the $2000 mark which is good because this Monday is the deadline for reaching $2000. Those of you who have already donated thank you again, and to those of you who haven't donated yet please do here.
