My hand, arm and back muscles are pretty weary right now...not sure I can manage this post...just kidding. A great bike ride today has left me exhausted! (I'll definitely sleep well tonight!)
I did a 10 mile bike ride yesterday with Mark who was on his road bike while I was on my mountain bike. It was a great ride but I couldn't keep up with him and he wasn't even going as fast as he could. I decided right then and there it was time to get a new road bike!
I have an old one; it was purchased 33 years ago in Minot, North Dakota and I'm sure bike technology has changed quite a bit since then. I brought that old bike to Okinawa and it actually survived Super Typhoon Wynn! It was time for an upgrade.
I got a "Specialized" Dolce model yesterday and tried it out today. Mark and I decided to go a little farther and ended up on a 20 mile ride. The bike is awesome! I'm getting used to the thinner tires and didn't want to push the speed.
We're going to try to bike at least 5 times a week (while we have good weather). It really is a good cardio workout, particularly climbing hills!
