OK, went for a ride for the first time since I injured my back about 3 months ago! I broke out the old Wal-Mart special (still looking for a new ride) lubed it up and took off. For a first ride I stuck to the rails to trails bike path, but I still had a blast! I managed to do about 13 miles! Being as we just had a hurricane it was still an interesting ride. At one point I was riding in what was now a stream, complete with fish!! One thing I did notice is man, I'm out of shape!! I guess I have some work to do. Plus, the suppository that passes for a seat on that bike has left it's mark. Overall though, I feel good. My back doesn't hurt, and it felt good to get some exercise. Can't wait to work up to some real trails on a new bike!
