Get your gear on!

I was so excited when the opportunity came along to ride with my friends Heather and Mike yesterday. I didn't even have a chance to knock of the layers of dust that coated my gear. Not to mention to check my bike out. I was just happy to be riding again... Despite almost a year and half long hiatus, I think I was able to hold my own and not slow the group down - too much. I was fine on the flats, but any incline at all and I was sucking wind and feeling the burn (It's a good thing Texas is mostly flat!). I only have 7 more weekends left before the MS150 is here and it became quite apparent that I'll need to utilize every day to get in shape. Anybody else out there training for an upcoming event or goal?
