My first bike ride of the season

I saw the new Cross Seminole trail route posted on the Chain Gang blog in the Sentinel. I knew something was coming, but I didn't realize it was so close to being done.

I rode it tonight. It was drizzling and cool, but great riding weather. I hadn't been riding at all this year and had a blast. I really love bike riding.

Here was the route. My bike computer said it was 11.39 miles while mapmyride.com said it was 10.85 miles. I'm not sure which is right, but one of them is off by a half mile or 5% in 10 miles. Not good, but OK for now.



I've got to get some more saddle time in before the 20th, but three days in a row exercising and loving it. The weight should start coming off a little.

I cleaned out most of the crap in the fridge tonight which leaves almost nothing. I have to get to Walmart tonight for some more dog food, sneakers and food, but will buy just grab and eat stuff like sandwich meat and cheese.

I always forget how much fun I have working out. And how good I feel. It's this ability to exercise that makes me hesitant to move to a snowy climate. I love that I can go outside at any time of the year and do something.

Enough. I have to get up in an hour and a half to go for a run.
