Black Cat II - almost

Well I started out this afternoon intending to ride to the Black Cat bridge again to check on progress.  But Airport Rd was closed and I didn't feel like following the detour they'd provided so I didn't quite make it to the Bridge.  But I still rode a shade under 17 miles today.  Shamefully, this was just my second ride for this entire month - just when I need to be ramping up my riding I've slacked off in a big way.  

But my plan to ride & maintain my fitness over the winter has still paid some dividends - I'm certainly in better condition now than I was last February.  Race-ready?  Anything but.    But at least my aerobic base hasn't completely withered away.
