For yet another time I discovered that riding a bicycle once mastered is not something that I have forgotten. For yet another time I discovered that I HAD forgotten how hard it is sometimes.
I wasn't thinking miles at all, I was thinking time on the bicycle, time to start laying down a base bicycling fitness level. I had a few miles early last month while in Flor-Ida but not really enough to achieve much fitness and also now so long ago that anything achieved on the bait and switch rental two wheeler is really now no longer relevant.
Today 45 minutes or so weaving mostly into the wind got me to the upwind end of Lake Como. Despite the recent run of 60+ degree high temperatures it still just ain't quite spring yet.
This looks like a pretty good neighbor to me.
I am knackered, I had to stretch the ride just a tiny tish more than I intended when I suddenly veered into the neighborhood of having the ride end with a total mileage of more than 12 but less than 14. I stayed out and got to 14.
Officially off the schneid.

Sounds like BICYCLING broke out.
Like BSNYC said, I predict a warming trend through August. You have less snow than there currently is in Holland, I think. I hope the warmer weather hangs around.
Way to go!
That's a great yard sign.
In the "for what it's worth" department -- I am working under the assumption that riding these heavy bikes early on helps build much needed strenth (legs, heart, lungs), and will be appreciated most when you stop riding the Axis and ride your First Look -- or whatever it's called. I forget.
