Oh Spring!

So now that spring is in full swing I am quite pleased. In the past 2 weeks I have been able to take about four decent bike trips, which is quite nice seeing how I have a hectic work schedule. Today I plan on doing my longest expedition of 2011 so far, a good 30 to 40 miles. Ann Arbor here I come! Finally going to be able to check out all the parks and trails that I hear people talking about. I love how spring is a time of change, growth and constant motion, it gives me the energy to get up and be active and ignore the winter stagnant feeling. It has been quite some time since biking a trip quite this extensive, but like always it is all mental. One pump of the pedal at a time. Also I found a new GPS exercise tracker, SportPal. It works great on my phone and tells me my distance, time, average speed, max speed, best length at the highest average speed, total climb and decent, and so on. Also has a great map overlay and shows data on each section of the ride. Enough geeky tech stuff for now, I need to prep for this awesome biking trip, Bear Naked granola here I come!
