I finally got my Trek 7.3 FX back from the repair shop yesterday afternoon, after a very long 11-day wait. So this morning I set out on my first ride in nearly 3-weeks! However, quickly I knew it wasn’t going to be a glorious return to the Road. Almost immediately I wasn’t feeling it. This was for many reasons, both due to intense dreams I had last night and the fact that the course I chose was filled with too much traffic and way too many red lights. Plus, it was damn hot and with the other things on my mind, I cut my planned 2-hour ride short. I made it down to the Mitaka area still though. The bike worked fine after its repairs, and I finally got to wear my new yellow jersey as well, which performed nicely.
