Dusk is Bliss

Planned on taking a ride this afternoon, a little treat to myself for hard study. So around 2 I gear up and grab my bike, which has a flat....great. I must have run over somthing puling into the house. So, I change, and decide to take the bike to the Trek West store where I bought it. I can change my own tubes, but I had a free flat fix coupon and I needed to go to Target anyway.


I get back, late, eat dinner at 5 and write off riding today, but god, it looked so nice out, I decided to give this dusk a little ride.

I put in my headphones oiled my chain and was off. The air was crisp and fresh, the road smooth and comforting. I'm finding myself adicted to the idea of longer and longer rides, I go to another world in my own head, a place I have not visited since I was a child. I like this place, and each ride I get excited to go back...

Only 19.21 tonight but I am getting faster. Every ride this week has increased my MPH by a few seconds. I hope I can keep it up, but my legs are burning, 60+ miles in the last 3 days is a big jump for me, my legs and body are not used to this, but on a good note, I've burned almost 2 pounds worth of calories this week! I'm on my way to my goal, 250 or less by Xmas!
