I made this blog to help me get back on the saddle. Things have gotten busy, and the weather has gotten cold, but that doesn't mean you can't bike.
Heck, I even got some knee warmers for Christmas so I could talk myself into riding more!
Some things I hope to accomplish through this blog.
- I want to start bike commuting to work.
I work about 8 or 9 miles away, and I can ride almost the whole way on a paved sidewalk along the Arkansas River.
- I would like to get back into shape and lose some weight.
Do not confuse this with some new years resolution!
- I would like to make some new friendships through mountain biking and strengthen some old ones.
Being busy, I have unfortunately some dear riding friends and I hate to disappoint.
Well, that's about it!
Why do you ride?
I ride mostly for enjoyment. Forget the exercise. I just love blasting through some singletrack and pumping my legs to get up some root covered hill. Getting some dirt thrown in your face as you race a friend. Creek crossings that cool you off.
It's that feel good feeling.
I miss it more than I can even know. I see my bike, hanging on the wall. I don't want to become a Seinfeld. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow I'll go.
No, I really think I will!
Ok, it's late. I'll let you know how it goes.
