Back On the Bike!

Today,  I went for my first ride in 3 weeks!  It felt a little weird in my cycling clothes and on the saddle, again.  But it didn't take that long for me to feel at one with the bike and road.  My friends and I rode along the San Gabriel river bed with clear skies and a slight chill in the air.  I wore my Little Italy jersey (shown below) and my new Louis Garneu Speed Tech bib shorts with Matrix 3 Gel chamois.  The shorts were very comfortable and had a unique shark skin texture - smooth in one direction and rough in the opposite.  After the ride, I felt sooo happy and psyched for the upcoming ride this Sunday in Borrego Springs that I am doing with two co-worker friends.  I will probably only do the metric century since I haven't ridden far in three weeks.  To get there I will be passing through Temecula and pick up some wine.  If anybody goes to Temecula, they should visit Ponte Winery and try the Beverino.  It's a red wine with that is too easy to drink and is just as good chilled as it is at room temp.  Trust me, you'll be addicted.  Happy Holidays every one! And get out on the rode & ride!
