I took Bikey out today, it was really warm but nicely cloudy. We went for the farthest ride thus far, 2.4 miles in all. I even made it up my driveway, which is a fairly steep hill that I have never made it up before :D
my last ride was just a bit longer than the previous ones, but a little is still something. I was reminded that it is important to be extra careful around where I live, I encountered about 4 cars driving not-super-safely. I gotta watch out for me cuz they’re not.
So I took Bikey out again today, on the same route as day 1 and it was way better than before. I took it a bit slower at first and I made it the whole way this time :D
I measured in my car and the distance is 1.2 miles total, so I feel pretty good about myself right now. I was thinking of bringing Bikey to work tomorrow and going for a ride there…maybe..
I got rained out, and with the roads around here being treacherous enough (no shoulders or lines) without adding rain and my low skill level, I thought it best to try again tomorrow. Plus, Daddy took us out for dinner!
So I went on my ride and I brought my doggie along with me! She fits perfectly in my basket and didn’t even try to jump out :)
I attached my basket to the bike today (also a bday pressie). It’s really cool b/c you can remove the basket and use it at the store so you don’t get too much or need to get any sacks. I just need to get a reflector to stick on the basket front as it blocks my front reflector when it’s attached to the bike.
I’m going for my ride in about an hour.
I got a bike for my birthday and I took it out yesterday for the first time. I realized how out of shape I am and that I don’t know jack about shifting gears. I am gonna try to ride a little everyday so that I can eventually ride for 5 miles without dying on the way.
