Temperatures this week seem to be edging toward 50F and beyond, and it's about time. Coming home from another errand this morning, I noticed that Central Park and the disc golf course were completely clear of snow, and also of people playing the game. So I got home, did a quick turnaround, and got out for a quick round sans afternoon crowds. It was a pretty average round overall, except for the hole-in-one on #9, my first ever. I'd hit the chains here once before, but that one dropped out. This time, a 160-foot curving bullet slammed in and stayed there. Couldn't quite believe it.
After that one round, I decided to quit while I was ahead, and get out for a bike ride after lunch. But then, getting home, I skipped lunch, and just went ahead and did it. I'd tweaked a couple of things on the bike since the last ride a few days ago (rear shifting, handlebar angle), and today everything seemed much better, including my legs, despite a stronger wind (NW 17 G 26 mph). I did the same 16+ miles as before, but it seemed like less of a struggle, so that's a good sign. If the weather stays good next week, I can start bumping up the mileage and/or doing some climbs.
