On the road again.....

Well, I'm on the road again, but you'd better watch out 'cause I've got wheels now! I got a bike Saturday, since it will be awhile before my feet are up to par and I want to be out there with you guys. So look out Saturday - I'll be coming up behind you and I'm not real steady.

Seriously, though, I got out on the road this morning for my first ride. I only stayed out 30 minutes for fear that I would not be able to sit later. Thanks to the oh so attractive, padded biking shorts, all is well and only my quads are a bit sore. I could really feel it in my knees, hips and quads. The guy at the bike place said that it would probably take about 3 weeks for my body to get used to the bike. I do like being out there again - especially today, it was a beautiful morning! Now, I can't wait to get out there again.

Have a great week and blog on!

I love to bike. If you ever want a riding partner...some evening or on a Sunday give me a shout. I live in Clinton and have a few routes that give a good workout.

i love my bike too! you will find, that it's so much COOLER (i mean temperature wise) to ride when it gets hotter outside-as opposed to walking. that's why i bought mine 2 years ago. (of course, embarrassing your kids in the cool biking shorts and groovy helmet is just icing on the cake).

you will have to be MORE careful riding on the road, tho. i usually wear some awful gaudy color so i'll be noticed instead of blending in with the scenery.

have fun!
ps. i may be riding with you saturday if my knees don't feel better by then.
