I told Craig Sunday that I wanted to cycle on Monday as it was the only day this week that did not have a chance of rain. Upon arising Monday, I was not feeling it. We had a busy weekend and I was ready to just have a “down” day.
Fortunately my man said that he thought we were riding today and was prepared to do so – my choice.
So we stretched, got dressed and went out to clear the sawdust from the bikes, oil the chains and fill the tires.
Off we went. It was not a long ride – 7 miles but it was a ride. Craig dropped off after a bit – still getting used to the bike but I kept going to the end of the road the we live on. I had some good hills and I made them all. I practiced going slowly at the top without feeling fear that I might fall over if I didn’t stop.
There were a few cars and trucks that slowed down and passed. I felt very safe. I won’t have a chance to get out again until Thursday afternoon if it is not raining, I am looking forward to discovering some longer rides through the beautiful countryside.
