SLOW AS A TURTLE

My daughter Tonia & I went for our first bike ride of the season.  I have never rode my bicycle more than a mile in my adult life.  One of my goals this year is to ride our local bike path from my house to Richmond and back.  That is about a 30 mile trip.   We ended up riding our bikes about 9 miles.  It was a lot more work than I thought it was going to be.   I was fine the first 6 miles, after that it was a struggle.  I would have no problem if it was a straight shot, with no hills and no wind resistance.  But, that was not the case!!!  I'm hoping to get back on the trails in a day or two.  I did notice one thing while I was riding my bike.   Everyone and their brother passed me up.  It was about half way through the trip that I realized, "I'm slow"!!  I hope to get faster at it, but if not, it's okay.  I'm looking forward to the day when I can make it all the may to Richmond.   I'll even be more excited when I can go there and back.
B.T.W., I am going to have to get a more comfortable seat & some biker shorts, before I start my trip to Richmond.

Todays Recipe: "Kicking Sweet Potato Fries".  I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes, but my daughter loves these.
