Yeah, weather has been crazy. Tornado near Danbury, CT the other day.

OK, got my first real bike ride in, as opposed to the other day where it was 6 blocks. Me and my wife rode an easy 9.5 miles today at an average speed of 12.2 mph. a strong wind in both directions. Not much but it's a start.

Went riding on the road yesterday for the first time since March and after making some bulged-disc-friendly modifications.

44 miles @ 17.1mph avg

I was pretty damn happy with the "results", especially when I couldn't feel shooting pains up my leg this morning - yay!

Nice, where did you do that road riding? Hills?

I got out in the woods on wednesday as I said I would for 90 minutes of hard riding.

Then did 54 miles on Friday down in Florida along A1A, through Palm Beach and down south. 18.3 avg with a 25 mph wind coming in off the ocean...mostly a cross-wind but caught me head-on a bit as I went north.

Just got out this evening in the woods for a quick non-stop 50 minute ride....didn't want to over do it as I'm hoping to get out tomorrow morning for a good long ride up at Blue Mtn. in Peekskill.

Today I got out to Trumbull for about 4 hours... hit some new stuff, always good.
Then I went back to the other side of the river with the girlfriend and we did a leisurely ride up to Monroe and back.

Rolling hills of the area. Left from my house in downtown Stamford and went up to Pound Ridge and Bedford,Ny and then made my way back through some choice roads in Greenwich and Stamford.
I suck at hills...

18.3 with nasty wind, nice!!

Those are some nice, big, rolling hills in that area. We definitely have to hook up for a ride. (road or mtn). My buddies and I have never been to Trumbull but hear great things....

Hoping to get to Blue Mtn. in about an hour or so....

Oh, and might have had a big wind..but there are NO hills down in south florida.

2 hours of sweet riding at Blue Mtn. in Peekskill yesterday morning. Hit the Monster, Upper and lower Stinger and then another one or 2.

Just got back for an early morning road ride. 28 miles at 15.8 on a hilly ride.
