I started a new job on April 1st, which totally cramped my bike riding style and has since been sucking up most of my energy. I went to take a ride on the 7th with RICK! (remember that guy?) and when we got to Rick's bike ride spot of choice, Pine Hill Cemetery, we found that my rear tire was totally flat. I threw a small tantrum. I think the nature trail may have been a bad idea. I was so disappointed, especially since he was finally ready to try riding again. Rick replaced my tire while I went to work that day and we tried again when I got done. Rick took a few laps, but his knee really wasn't ready for another bike ride. It was a cool spot though, and I think we'll try it again. I went another week without riding because of weather, fatigue, laundry... everything. And then I decided that the only time I really have to commit to it during the week would be in the mornings. So Rick and I went out and bought a sweet bike light set (mine is silver and white). I also got a new bike computer because I was oh so tired of MapMyRide and it's lack of ability to save/upload things. I love it because it does a bunch of different things, including keeping up with my total mileage, real-time speed, distance, etc. I took a great 5:30am ride yesterday morning and LOVED it. Many more early rides to come! My plan is to do at least 3 min rides in the mornings during the week (5 mi/30 min) and then do longer rides on the weekends at different places. I am itching to go ride on the American Tobacco Trail!
