Back on the road

A few more weeks have passed, and frustration has mounted about my lack of riding. With the Panasonic frame trashed, my body bruised, work forcing me out of town, and more snow piling up, the elements have conspired against me.

Today I broke that mold. Taking my Motobecane out, I rode into work pain- and problem-free. It was refreshing to be back on two wheels, though the air might have been a little too fresh at a balmy 22 degrees this morning. Breathing hurt and I'm out of shape, but the sun was out and the roads were clear.

Even better, I have two leads on replacements for my commuter: a complete Specialized Langster and an old Giant road frame to swap parts to. Hell, I might even get both.

Ten days until daylight time, sixteen until Spring: it can only get better from here.
