3 hours and 20 minutes.

That's how much riding I got in this weekend. The last time I had a weekly ride total greater than that was 8 weeks ago. Dalia is going to be 7 weeks old on Tuesday. Coincidence? I'll just blame it on the shorter daylight hours! Saturday's ride was a quick little 50 minute spin. Due to family time during the day, I didn't get out until 3:30. I figured I might as well try and get some good pics with the late day sun, but then clouds decided to roll in.

Of course the sun decided to peek out just as I finished up my ride.

Sunday I got out for a loop of the park. The last time I did a complete loop was 2 months ago.

 What a beautiful sight!

 

Me, myself and I.

My loop of the park was a solid 10 minutes (12 minutes to be exact) slower than what I usually do in the summer. But with no races on the horizon until next year and no training plans to stick to, shit don't matter right now. It was just damn good to get out for a ride that wasn't my commute.
