Spring spatters

Spring spatters, originally uploaded by carljohnson.

43 degrees. Wet lube on the chain, double-bagged knees and some embrocation, bike shoe galoshes. Twenty-two slow kilometers but a nice hour's ride, as much as I could take after three months off the bike. Now for the endorphins.

(What you're seeing is the sun shining through my winter cycling jacket, splattered with mud despite my having put the fender on.)
