I got out on the bike for 15 miles. I started off in a jacket but I was down to shorts and a short sleeved jersey by the half way point! I intended to do 20 but the hip was bothering me enough that I figured I should cut it short. I have another ride planned tomorrow, a little longer at 25 miles, so there was no need to push it today. I am pretty sure the deep knee bends I did to get the chain greased and the tires pumped up tweaked things a bit - it's always the little stuff!
My pretty bike!
I hung out on my inversion table after the ride. I purchased it a few months ago but hadn't gotten around to setting it up - which was a feat with its million pieces and hard to read instructions. It's supposed to help with disc issues, so I figure getting some traction in before surgery might help alleviate any post-surgery low back pain flare ups (likely some wishful thinking, but it can't hurt).
Today is also day 1 of the freezer stocking cooking! Spaghetti sauce/meatballs and chili is on the docket. I'll freeze most of it and save enough for a meal or two during the week.
We had similar weather today. Now you have me wondering the last time we hit 70...definitely last fall and not in November I don't think! Glad you were able to enjoy the weather a bit and also get some cooking done!
