Omg, I'm reliving my childhood or something. I broke out the bicycle, the first I've had it out in years. I remember riding it once since I've been here, but that was probably three years ago. And it was ONLY the one time.
About 2:00 today I rode about seven miles and came home. Then I went out again at 5:00 and rode another nine miles. Yes, 16 miles!! The nice thing is that the path I ride has half-mile markers, so I know for sure how far I went.
Even though I have one of those bigger seats with the gel pad, it felt like I was riding on a brick. I guess what I need is one of those large, cushy Barcalounger seats. ;)
The last mile of my second ride, I swear I didn't think I was going to make it. My ass hurt like I had been a bad little minx and needed a spanking baaaad, and I was pedaling so slowly that I swear some little blue hair with a walker passed me by and gave me the finger.
I had my cell on me, but just couldn't imagine THAT phone call: "Um, yeah, honey? Can you come get me? Where am I? Uh... at the front of the subdivision. Hello??"
LOL kick ass post (s'cuse the pun!!) Funny to read. I can't wait till I drag MY bike out either.. though have to wait for the storms to pass.. we have just hit winter.. sigh.

ReplyDeleteC'mon, Amy, we're waiting for you! :) Today I rode about 60 miles, but that was on my MOTORIZED bike. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cara, I have a lot of competition out there, so I have to use bait-and-switch to get people in. I tease them with the title and then slam them with reality. LOL :)
