'twas but 13km, but that's 13km more than the past few weeks. Keep pushing those barriers, even if it's just a dent.

Quick after-work trip to Tokyo!

[benjblu]

It's done, just shy of 50km... Feeling like I'm catching back up with the old ways!

[benjblu]

It's been a heck of a long time, but I finally got back in the saddle 😎🌟

[benjblu]

It's been quite a while since I went for a noteworthy ride, so this one hurt quite a bit.

I managed 63km to the hydro dam and back, so I won't ignore that effort!

Effort is very hard, sometimes the best way is grabbing the chance when it feels right 🌞

[benjblu]

Let's go bright, just because!

[benjblu]

I sometimes get the statement of why I should always ride outdoors during winter. When you live somewhere where ice reforms soon after snow is cleared, it's just not worth the risk.

[benjblu]

Sometimes it may seem like a question without the need to go asked, but there are two dilemma moments where it becomes an internal battle.

Do what you can, and celebrate when it happens!

[benjblu]

The effort has been missing recently, so I've found some success in lunchtime rides. Snow is down outside, so that's outdoor season gone!

Yes, that's the best effort I can put in to smile!

[benjblu]

I think I'm gradually wearing down!

It was time to take advantage of the sun and pop out to the cake shop on a 92km round trip.

Wasn't quite as easy as it used to be, but I did it 😎

Getting on those quiet open roads in the sun is still a really nice feeling though.

[benjblu]

Well, the sun brought me back out again. Simply had to make sure I got some outdoor riding in when I could, even if it was on short notice

[benjblu]

Tougher effort than expected today... But I'm glad I tried. Time to sit and show I made an effort!

[benjblu]

It's been a short while...

[benjblu]

Just because I scrubbed up well 😎

[benjblu]

No, I don't always manage the exercise.

Sometimes it's about enjoying the outdoors forced on me by work. Some aren't able to keep essentials like this stable, so I try to make sure that privilege doesn't escape my notice.

[benjblu]

Too cold for a run? Not quite yet!

Throwback to my running days, a task I hope to pick back up.

[benjblu]

Outside or in, I've made the effort when I'm not feeling up for it. 😎
