Day 586 - Bike Ride

Well I wasn't really sure how to get on the bike, and I don't seem to be quite as flexible as I was 15 years ago, but I tried to swing my leg over the seat, but it just didn't quite make it.  Good thing nobody was watching.  I bought some bike pants from Terry and I got all this good padding, so I was not in any discomfort on that end.

But dang we went (well I went TH might have gone further) about 6 miles, and biking out it was fine, but coming back it was either uphill or into the wind or maybe both,  my legs actually got a little tired.  I am thinking maybe the recumbent would be good, just for the spinning.

I am going to do Sawyer Camp on Tuesday.  Just to see how it goes.  I will be all by myself, but you know I always will have a cell phone handy, and maybe next week I can talk TH into do the Iron Horse Trail.  One can only hope.

  1. We went on BOTH a bike ride AND a walk. I used my old deerskin padded shorts, but I still was sore.

    T3 points out that I peddle like a bowlegged man - we'll, I am a bowlegged man, so nothing new here.

    My neck hurts & I need a mirror to see behind us.

    I'll be sore tomorrow. T3 is a beast!!!! She went up & down the trail like a mountain goat - I had to have Tolar help pull me up the trail.

    At least neither of us fell off our bikes.

  2. You did it! You rode! I went for my second ride of the season and almost got off the bike mid-ride. Then I had to chase down some show boater. Getting back into it is hard, girl! Gut it out!
