First Ride

I dusted off the cobwebs (metaphorically speaking) and took the bike out for an easy spin. I did my ol' standby, an 18.5 mile loop that comprises three medium sized hills. These hills are enough to get your heart rate up but not enough to bust your knees, a wise choice considering how long I've been off the bike.

Being a Sunday I was able to stop at the farmer's market on the way home and pick up some peaches. Nothing quite like peaches, I say. I picked out two nice looking ones and handed them to the woman behind the scale. She weighed them and announced the price as $1.50. I handed her $2 and told her to keep the change. She said, "Then you can grab another one." I saved $0.25 cents on that third peach! Sometimes it's the little things in life that really perk me up.

Total mileage so far: 18.5
Projected mileage at this rate: 777 (yeah, right!)
Days left: 41
