The time is upon me. I have noticed 2 things that are way too high for me these days. One is the price of fuel and the other is my weight. I had purchased a mountain bike (Trek 3700) about a year ago and have been crying wolf that I was going to be riding it to work every morning. Well, as a test I rode my bike up to my work on one Saturday morning. I live just over 3 miles from work. I averaged about 30 minute’s roundtrip. I have ridden my bike now 3 days last week and I am planning on riding it four days this week. (I was just running late this Monday morning so I took my truck). I figure that this will start some sort of trend and more citizens will follow my lead and save on gas and get back into descent shape and start riding more frequently. You don't have to ride all the way from your home, one can drive a certain distance, park, hop onto one's bike and pedal strong!
Yes, it may take us longer to get home in the afternoons, we will sweat a bit, but it is all so tranquil, exhilarating and way worth every drip and every minute we spend pedaling. I wish my ride was longer actually. I am considering a different route to get more cycling in on a day. Wish me luck, I wish you luck and looking forward to seeing y'all on the road.
