Start Climb :) :(

Just got back from a 10 mile bike ride, first time I think I've ever done that. (By the way, I am waiting to share this journal with anyone until I start getting serious, so if you're reading this entry months later, don't ask why I never told you about my plan!)

I didn't plan on going on that long of a bike ride but Steve said "it's not that hilly and only 6 miles round trip." The trip in general was actually quite relaxing, little to no cars, lots of deer, (dead skunks, that's always fun) ...until I got to a hill that was sprayed in white paint that said,

START
CLIMB

:(

I just laughed knowing that it most definitely meant huge hill coming up and I was right! I made it up the first huge hill and saw that there was another massive one in the distance. Now, I felt driven and confident today, but not that confident! I figured I'd leave that for another day, perhaps a day that I wasn't doing squats the night before.

The only complaint that I have is that my hands and ass have to get used to the pressure. My sitbones are beyond sore and I have this strange lump on my right hand! It's freaky looking and painful and I really hope it goes away!

All in all, I'm happy with my ride and I can't wait to do longer ones.

Thanks for reading,
Dani
