Well, it is Friday, and this weekend I start getting into shape for the upcoming summer season of fun in the sun on a bike. I have selected Lolo Pass because of its vicinity (just up the road … have you checked the gas prices lately?) and it has a pass. I have taken the week off to recover from my “mountain run a day for 31 days straight” campaign and I feel out of shape as usual.
The weather is a different story. Our spring-like weather has left, and a more seasonal briskness has returned. I am hoping to have warmer temps visit us as I begin to go road biking.
So tomorrow off I go on my first road bike ride in Montana. Last year I did not have a chance to do a real long ride anywhere since I was new to the area and succumbed to the mountain biking season.
