This morning I went for my first bike ride on my new bike that my precious little Lee got for me. And I must say that I love it. And him. So a new discovery: Smyrna is HILLY! The Silver Comet Trail is 3.5 miles from our house, so no problem, I'll just include that in the bike ride. Well getting to and from the trail was quite an undertaking, and it definitely introduced me to the magic of proper gear shifting. The SC Trail itself is just absolutely wonderful. I love it. It's perfect for running and biking, nice level of slightly difficult but not too difficult, and beautiful scenery. And if you get there early enough, you will definitely see bunnies, which always makes my heart a little bit warmer. This was my first time biking on the trail and I got to see a lot more of it than when I've run it. And I wasn't disappointed. So my bike ride's total distance was 20 miles, which I was really glad I was able to do since I'm supposed to do 18 miles as part of the mini-triathlon I signed up for, so I feel some reassurance.
Here's a couple pictures of my bike, one straight out of the box, and one of it fully assembled.
Lee and I did go to Boston 2 weekends ago and had a fabulous time, and I will post about that soon. It just takes more time when I want to add more that 1 or 2 pictures. So it will come, as soon as I get some good quality time in the blogging world.
Have a great Wednesday!! Pretty much the weekend, right?
I always thought Tampa's radio stations were the pits, even compared to Muscle Shoals, AL! Florida gets lovely things like AIDS and old people, not that I place those 2 in the same category or anything (pardon me if I offend).
ReplyDeleteLove that bike Erin! I'm catching up on my daughter in love's blogs! So fun... When you and Lee move to Kentucky, your taste for music will be satisfied and more! For sure....
