After four days of outdoor-riding deprivation, it felt good to be back in the saddle. I started the Strava app, but at the end of the ride it had recorded zero in all its data fields. Whether that was a service failure or an operator/device failure remains undetermined. The most disappointing part was being unable to use the Strava Flyby feature to identify all the new people who were on the road today, or at least any who were sharing Strava data.

It took an hour for me to settle into a comfortable rhythm, but the remainder of the ride was a joy. There is still plenty of unsettled weather to come before the spring is sprung, but meanwhile what we had today will suit me just fine. The largest number of recreational travelers I have seen so far this year were using bicycles, horses, motorcycles, dirt bikes, ORVs, and aircraft.
