I know I promised this ages ago, but here are the pictures from when I did my first bike ride (off the trainer) for the spring. Oh my gosh, it was a beautiful day!
I am privileged to live nearby a wonderful bike trail that takes me near some pretty water and through some neighborhoods. On the other end of the trail, it goes through wooded area, but I’ve never been there…maybe one day. The temperature was perfect, maybe 75 degrees, sunshine everywhere…I was feeling great!
Anyway, I ended up doing 15 miles that day. The good thing about having ridden my bike on the trainer was that I didn’t have to get readjusted to the seat. I didn’t even get sore. The bumps can sometimes be a surprise to my, er, sensitive areas, but overall…no pain!
There were tons of people out, even a whole family with a toddler riding his trike (so cute!) I just love to see families out together riding and doing something healthy! I can’t wait for the day when my son gets a little older and we can go riding together.
At the end of my ride, I met two ladies who were cooling down from their own ride. They were a mother and daughter who were doing crosstraining for Marathon Makeover . Both mom and the kid, who was maybe 15, were overweight so I was very proud of them for getting out there…because it is harder for overweight folks.
Anyway, they were kind enough to take this picture of me after we chatted for a bit. I wish them all the luck in the world.
To the challenge members: Since I got so many late entries, the start day will have to be Monday April 26th so I can add in everyone. I’m excited, we’ve got some great ladies on the roster!
