anxiously waiting
While I'm waiting for Evan to emerge fromt he bathroom so I can see if he decided to shave his beard, trim his beard, or create some sort of design in his beard, I thought I'd write about my biking experience today.
Activity: Biking
Distance: ??? Not sure but a 10K for at least plus another hour
Time: 2 hours 17 minutes total. The 10K was (I think) 32 minutes
After I road around the park once to complete a 10K, I decided to explore the park a bit. I really enjoyed it although I have no idea how far I went. I decided my handle bars are too high, on the ride back home my back hurt from the position I was in. We then tried to lower them and discovered we lack allen wrenches so that is on the list of things to obtain this week. I also discovered that my instruction booklet does not tell you how to lower the handlebars. I also decided that I do like the tire width. Anything thinner would not work well for the path. It is gravel/ limestone with only a portion being concrete. I think anything thinner would have been difficult in those conditions. Also, I rarely ride on the street (due to my own comfort level) and because of this often have to pass pedestrians on the grass. Thinner tires would cause a wipe out for sure. Also on the list of things to obtain are a helmet, bike rack, and a water bottle holder.
I also decided I should stay away from the park on days like today....there was an earth day celebration (or as the guy in the park said, a vegetarian festival) and there was entirely too much activity. I about killed myself, not to mention countless other innocent park goers, because I was trying to checkout everything. WAY too much going on for me. I was too distracted to actualy pay attention to what I was doing. But more than 2 hours later I returned home and felt like I got a pretty good work out despite my leisurely ride through the park.
Evan decided the beard stays, for now, but may decide it's coming off before too long. When it gets hot, he says. It's going to be cold all week (50-60 degrees) so not anytime soon it looks like.
