So I thought it would be a fantastic idea to ride my bike to my new workplace (also where Aaron works) to get a feel for the ride. Well, to keep it semi-PG, F that S. It was the ultimate test of my strength to keep on riding my bike. My rear end hurts, even in areas that I don't actually sit on, my index finger repeatedly went numb, I always hit red lights and lost a LOT of momentum to get me up a hill, I have red lobster legs, I have a cute little red stripe on my arm where my sleeve shifted... It was a GREAT TIME. But, I do have good news. On my final stretch, the last turn before my apartment complex, is a gas station. It was up to $4.13, up four cents from yesterday. So, although I looked gross, smelled like sunscreen and sweat, felt like I'd been hit by a semi, all the good stuff, I wasn't paying that much for gas! I got a very awesome app for my phone that calculates my distance, speed, calorie burn, and it maps out my route. It's very awesome. I rode over 33 miles today, and burned over 1,000 calories. I think the ride will be a LOT easier when I'm doing it earlier/later in the day, and I'll have 8 hours in between rides instead of an hour and a half. I crashed when I got home.
Happy Cycling!
