Shawn decided that he would surprise me last weekend when I came home and took me to Bike World in San Antonio. I have been thinking for a while now that I would like to ride a road bike, but never really thought that I would. Here in Midland there are quite a few PA students that actually do ride and love to share stories about riding and how much fun it is and re-sparked my interest. Needless to say, I got a bike!!!! It is a nice Trek bike and I love it!!!
I have been waiting the last three days to have a chance to ride it when the weather is nice and the wind will not blow me over. A few storms came through and ruined my plans Monday and Tuesday. Today, however, was a beautiful day. Temperature was around 70 when I decided to ride today. I had been studying most of the morning and figured that a study break sounded like a great excuse and opportunity to ride. I absolutely loved it!!!!! Mind you I am not the best rider and need to be a little more confident in my riding but I had a blast. I rode with one of my fellow PA students around in some neighborhoods. We rode about 8 miles and my max speed was 20 and average was 12.5 mph. Not bad for a first time ride!!!
Look forward to many more rides and adventures.
