First ride in a loooong time..
I hadn't made time to ride my bike much this season which is really disappointing. Between, new house, new job, starting back to school, little girl learned to walk, etc. I was just worn out all the time. I found a renewed enthusiasm last night when a friend of mine said he wanted to train with me for LOTOJA next season. He's a pretty strong rider and it was nice to have some encouragement and something to train for. Not 100% sure I will do it, but I'll keep telling myself I am, as it got me excited to ride again.
So for the first time in months, I got back on the bike.. Found a new little 19 mile route from my house, pretty flat, but fun nonetheless. Incidentally it's to work and back.. Good shoulder most of the way.. plus I found out there is a shower in the office building so that's an extra bonus. The best part of the ride was that my little daughter was waiting for me when I got back.. she had her little pink helmet on ready for a ride.. so I changed into my mountain biking cleats and she got in the buggy and we rode around the neighborhood for a bit.. then, at about 10:30 tonight she runs into her room and brings back shoes and socks. I put them on for her and she runs and grabs both my helmet and her own and wants to go for another ride. My wife and I died laughing.. I put her back in the buggy and pulled her around the driveway a couple times.. What a cute kid. Can't wait for her little brother coming in December!
