I'm a bike riding fool! (photo too!)

Wednesday, August 22, 2012

I couldn't wait to hit the trail today. In fact, I had my bike loaded yesterday just so I didn't have to mess with it in the morning before I went to volunteer at the library.

I got home from work this morning, and I was exhausted. I didn't volunteer today. I will tomorrow tho. I just couldn't drag myself around today on 2 hours of sleep. Plus... I wanted to ride today, and there is no way I would be able to without resting.

My ride was great. I will admit, I had a little bit of a hard time getting in the groove, but once I found it, I was there! I pushed myself really hard.

I rode a total of 15 miles. I will admit the last five were hard. I was really getting tired.

My HRM said I burned 831 calories. I was pretty impressed by that. I worked my tookiss off!

Here are a few photos of me in my snazzy bike gear.

I still haven't gotten the hang of taking pics of myself in a mirror. I am going to have to have some teenager teach me how to do it properly.

    Have the teenagers teach you the duck fact too ;)

That is an awesome calorie burn, and impressive mileage too. emoticon

I would love to start biking, but I may try to get an indoor bike now and then move to outdoor next spring.
