Dejavu, I did ride a bit last year....this year, I have a lot of people nagging me to try it....so, I have dusted off my bike.
That is the first step....Dusting it off.
The second component is having my 'support system' in place...and they are going full tilt.
Next a few riding partners willing to go slow....I have several of those.
Next....the wind needs to die down and the temps get below 90! Then it's yeeehaaaaaaaaaw. Maybe I will make it 5 miles, lol....then again maybe not.
