Road Biking for the 1st time this Spring

I got out this morning on the "good" bike and it felt really good! I have been riding a beater bike to work through most of the winter here in Buffalo, but it definitely feels good to be on a bike. The surprise of the morning was the crazy gusts of wind. It blew me all over the place! I rode an easy 15 miles, in just under an hour.

Most of the ride was on the Amherst bike path, but the fist 2 miles or so were on the road from my house. I was really surprised at how rough the road felt to me. While it was nice to have a big wide shoulder to ride on, the brutal winter has definitely left its mark in potholes and large cracks in the road.

Here is a map of my ride. Look for more to come soon! The weather is improving...
