Monday’s ride: 5.2 miles in 25.43 minutes. Average speed was 13.96 miles/hour. Top speed 23.9 miles/hour.
Up Williams Street, around King’s Place development, circled housing addition twice.
Nice simple ride – saw one other biker on a road bike.
First ride w/ shorts and gloves – much more comfortable…

Keep it up! I ride a Cannondale road bike, and I love it.
Soon you'll be making 20+ mile rides, and you'll probably want to switch to a road bike over the hybrid(?) that you've got now.
But have fun!
You've inspired me.
I got my bike out of storage, cleaned it up and took a test ride. Felt great!
Yea! I found an exercise I can do after my surgery.
I get bonus points though for pulling along a 40+ pound 4 year old in her "chariot".
Hi Nate,
Thanks for the post – I'll check out your blog in a sec.
This is a Trek 4500 Hardtail Mountain Bike – I'll likely get a road bike next year but as I live near a state park with some decent trails, I wanted the MTB – of course, it's a bit rougher to ride on the streets, but plenty of trail action around here.
Looking at trunk mount racks now – any recommendations?
Thanks for the kind words,
B
Erin,
I got started again three weeks ago with my old $80 Target bike from college – it's 12 years old. I am suprised I didn't destroy it.
The Trek is a *world* of difference. Well worth the cost…
I think I'm addicted now 😉
