I got my bike over the weekend. I got a used Ironhorse Warrior mountain bike. I don't care much for the skinny tire bikes.
Sunday, while she is cooking supper, I tell TJ that I am taking a bike ride. She stated that she thought we were going to be riding together. I told her we would , but she was not invited to my virgin ride (I am a virgin again after so many years) to hear her snickering behind me.
That ride was only a mile. Oh my! I remember biking being much easier when I was in college.

There are places on me that hurt that have not hurt in a long time.
And .. Who ever decided those seats were comfortable ?
I just want to know.
