Cycling legs are under me again

As many of you know I have been training for STP again after having too much time off over the winter, I had some work to do to get back up to speed again. This weekend was the first time I have felt really comfortable and strong on the bike since mid July 2006.
Weaver and I went for a 52 mile ride and it was windy, which is always harder on me, maybe it is just mental, but it is always harder. Even with the wind, I was able to push hard the entire ride and I was able to keep respectable speeds for the ride. It feels so good to feel strong on the bike again. I know I have a long ways to go and a lot of room for improvement, but it is nice none the less.
