Thoughts on a bike

Mid day Sunday Nick and I went on a bike ride... my first! It was in the 50's a bit breezy, on and off sun. I had good layers on and stayed warm, Nick thought he wasn't going to need pants... turns out he wished he had them. So we start out and it was so bumpy. We rode through the streets of a few towns down roads that I had never been. It was pretty cool. We went my pace and as I played with my gears, it picked up. We only traveled 9 miles but it was fun! Today, Monday, ouch. I wanted to go for another ride today, but I don't know if I could sit on that seat for all of 2 second. My arms, shoulders and neck are sore, but other than that, I'm good. Tomorrow it's supposed to get up to 71, so I am riding!

When I was 10, I rode my Mom's road bike and my foot slipped off the peddle and the metal peddle ended up gashing open my shin and leaving a scar. I remember going to show my Mom the cut, but she was sleeping and I tried to wake her up and she just mumbled "Oh yeah" and went back to sleep. It was gross.
