Spinning

Long time readers will remember when this happened.

And that it was pretty hard for me to get back on my bike for the long ride after that.

Between being nervous about the trek and the winter weather (well, it's cold to me) I stuck with my car. Add the fact that one of my injuries from that crash has been acting up the last month or so (the physical therapist actually told me not to get on my bike so it isn't just an excuse...she gave me the OK last week) and I haven't ridden to work since

Until today.

A little slow, a little more challenging than before, but no real issues. The weather is gorgeous and I really enjoy the time and how working up a good sweat on a steady ride can clear your head.

And things can make you laugh, too. I was coming up to an intersection where I passed 4 apparently homeless men; dirty, pushing there shopping carts full of junk. One of them said to me, "Hi, young girl". Seemed friendly and harmless enough of a statement, and my mother always taught me to be polite, so I said, "Hello"

Then he said....

"Nice hooters!!! Huh Huh"

All I could manage was some noise that was sort of a cross between a snort and a guffaw - but I was definitely laughing.
