It has been so long since I rode my bike.....


I had to remove the cobwebs from the seat before I could ride. It has been so long that sadly I forgot the code to the garage door. It has been so long that after going a couple of pedals down the street I sounded like the wrong end of an obscene phone call. lol! It has also been so long since I scared innocent people on the street by singing OUT LOUD w/my Ipod.
Well today I changed all that. Dusted that seat off, added new songs to my Ipod and rode to Publix. This was a ride that would've been a walk in the park so to speak. NOW???? It was pedal, pedal breathe, pedal pedal wheeze. Sigh. Even though I get a lot of bending, stretching and lifting exercise at Sam's, it does NOT cover the ole aerobic stuff. Deep sigh. It's on my list.

You're so funny Lynn ... I can't even imagine what's it like to ride a bike anymore, it's been so long. I wonder if they make them to hold people my weight ... hmmm. I'll have to find out. Glad you're back to riding, I know you really enjoy it.
