First Bike Ride of the Season
It is 6 degrees and the snow is melting slowly so this morning Kevin and I went for a bike ride. He figures we did about 18 km. I don't know how long it took because I didn't look at my watch. Actually I didn't even wear a watch. I rode one of his bikes because mine is still in the loft and it felt pretty good. My left knee was a bit sore riding but is fine now. Even though I wore my bike shorts (with track pants over top) I know my butt will be sore for days. Usually when I ride (and when I paddle) my hands start to tingle and I have to stop and stretch and flex several times. For the first time in years I had no tingling! Whether that is because his handlebars are in a different location or angle, or because I have been rebounding all winter and keeping up with regular massages and chiropractic appointments I don't know. I don't actually care - as long as it lasts!
Connor has been out several times already. He has been riding his new heavy-duty unicycle in the snow for weeks. He gets some strange looks and comments.
