I did it!

It has been 30+ years since I have been on a bike. Today my husband and I decided to go down to the ferry landing here in town to watch the kids do a Sturgeon release. The Sturgeon release is where they have raised Sturgeon's at a fish hatchery and around this time of year they release a bunch into the rivers. We decided to go and watch them and also be with our children. Because it is only 12 km (round trip) we decided to bike it there. Oh my seeing me on a child's bike isn't very pretty. My poor husband having to stare at my backside the whole time. It was actually fun. The only problem is I have longer legs than my son and my butt is quite larger than his, so his little hard seat just wasn't that pleasurable for me. The whole time I was envisioning a new seat that would be comfy and fit my butt. I have a few ideas, so I need to go and see what is all offered in the bike section.

I actually enjoyed the biking, so I might do this everyday. It has been 4 hours and I can feel the stiffening of my muscles, but not too bad yet. We will see what tonight and tomorrow brings.

Oh my poor husband, he was riding our 9 yr old's bike and as he was riding down the highway the handle bars flipped forward and so he went to brake and he pushed the front brakes instead of back and front and did a flip over. What a way to start off the bike ride. He has his aches and pains, but he will survive. I am just glad that wasn't me as I probably would still be lying there.
