Cycling 3:10:00 [3] 92.0 km (2:04 / km)
First big road ride of the year. Sunny and the temp hit about 15, so definitely a good day to be on the road. Rode with Simon H., who is fresh off his trip to Sea Otter and held a solid tempo. Rode from home to Bragg Creek and back (springbank out and banff coach back).
Overall, felt pretty good although the final long climb at the end tested the cramp resistance in my legs. Probably didn't eat enough. Pulled much of the way and rode well, but after I got home felt pretty spent.
Good to know that I still have some fitness, but need to jack it up.
All in all a great day.

First commute in from new place. Nice flat ride. Fast with tail wind, slower with headwind. Seat dropped and I felt like a gorb, riding with bent knees. Anyhow, looking forward to more commuting.
