First ride of the year...

k me, I'm unfit. It was just over 17 miles, around 50/50 road/offroad with a few small hills and a couple of steep ones. I had nothing left at all towards the end of the ride, every small incline felt like a mountain. Admittedly I've done nothing over the winter and vegetated most weekends, but its still shocking how much fitness I've lost. It's going to be hard work through the spring
Anyone else finding it hard getting back into it?

The thing to do is, if you can't stand riding in the cold and rain, just shorten your rides. Even if you do only five miles three times a week, it's enough to keep you fit. Just around the local roads.
Stop altogether and you're in a world of pain when you restart.

However, it can only get better from here. I thought I was going to be in a bit of a state this morning but feel surprisingly good.
