Oookay. Things I learned today:

1. When enjoying your day off, the day after you put in a 12 hour shift at the store, unloading two differant semi trucks full of merchandise, climbing on your bicycle for the first time in God Knows, might not be the worlds best idea.

2. Riding a bicycle with two flat tires is difficult. It becomes even more difficult going up and down hills.

3. Never expect a gas station air pump to be functioning when you need it to be.

4. The first time you ride a bike in years, your trip should probably NOT consist of very steep hills.

5. You can be sore in places you didn't know you had muscles.

It is a beautiful day today, and I did ride my bike up to the Dartmouth green and met Sara for lunch, but now I hurt. Even more than I did when I woke up. And I'm really annoyed about the whole non-functioning air compresser thing. I don't own a bicycle pump, so I don't know where I can get air for my tires now.

Anyway, I'm sore, and sleepy and this chair is really comfortable. Maybe I'll take a nap.

Heee, bikes can be nasty! Mine sounds as though it's playing the countdown clock every time I ride it.

For the first time in almost a decade I hopped on a bike 1.5 years ago for a Sunday cycle, and quite enjoyed it. The following Sunday I repeated the exercise ... and in trying to avoid a pedestrian took a flying jump off the path and broke my hand; the scaphoid, worst bone (in the hand anyway) that you can break. 2+ months in a cast.

Maybe you and I aren't suited for riding bicycles. I don't think I am, anyway.
