Riding again
I’ve started riding my bike again. It actually feels pretty good to be doing it. I had some sleep and migraine issues last fall and all winter. Last fall I started getting dizzy when I would write and decided that it would be best if I stayed off my bike until I got those issues worked out.
Now that I have been treated and the sleep issues seem to be gone, I have decided to start riding again. I figured with the small amount of time that I have to ride now that I have two kids, it would be best to commute to get some miles in. This ends up being 29.5 miles a day for me.
Sunday I rode 18 miles to make sure that I could ride the miles I needed to in order to make one leg of the journey (14.77 miles). The ride was great, I hopped on my bike and made it out about five miles. I couldn’t believe how well my legs were responding and what speed I could keep for being so far out of shape. Then I realized that even though I saw the trees blowing violently, I felt no wind. Doh! It all worked out, I made it home fine, but it was a quick reminder that I need to pay more attention then I have been.
I have since made one round trip commute, and a one way commute. The second day I got soaked on the way in and it was raining when it was time to leave. It rained today, but I think I may be able to ride in the rest of the week. That will give me approx 120 miles this week. Not bad for my first week back riding after 9 months off with no exercise in between!
