Our First Ride

Well, Michael and I went on our first bike ride this weekend. We went a little over 6 miles and did well- no falls at least. I'm still figuring out gears and that type of thing, but we'll get there. There was some awkwardness and discomfort, but we are getting our bikes "fitted" this week, so that should help with most of that. I am proud to say that I have the first biking related injury. I cut my leg on the spoke that holds the chain when I was clipping in. It was awesome...got blood on the bike...the whole bit. We are going to try to ride a couple more times this week mixed in with our running schedule. We really need to find some good trails though because riding on the street with cars flying by at 60 mph makes me nervous. I'm just not completely comfortable yet. But all around we had a lot of fun and think we'll enjoy our new hobby. Next time we ride I'll take a picture of us all geared up...should make you smile!
