OK so I got my crummy bike out and tuned up. I was going to wait for a less humid day to start my daily rides but I don't see the humidity breaking anytime soon. So I decide to venture out today.
I'm all dressed, bike loaded with water, keys, cell phone, reading glasses and a wet towel when the phone rings. It's Matt's dad - so much for an early morning ride! After an hour chatting with him, I off.
I decide I'm going to ride to the nature center - Cattus Island Park and see about bike trails there. I'm out in the noon sun. It's hotter than the surface of the friggin' sun! Anyway, I'm riding up the road to the conservation offices and it's NICE in there! I park the bike where it says NO BIKES PAST THIS POINT (locked on the rack of course) and walk up.
The kid working there is nice. He showed me the ONE bike trail - which actually is good. It's a mile long and goes from my house to the conservation center. It's a mile long so I can do two miles a day to get me started! It also keeps me off the foot path away from the people. So I got lost trying to find it toward home
and I think I wound up on one of the foot paths instead. So, I noticed the road to my left and got off the trail and headed home.
I was melting I tell ya! MELTING! How the hell does Twistie do it? He's in shape that's how! I'll get there. Me ->
Next time I need to remember to pack my inhaler too. I think my lungs were about to explode! That too will settle down in time. But all in all I actually feel good. Tired and hungry but good. Why is it when I exercise I get very hungry? I even make sure I eat before exercising too! If I skip a meal, it's worse!
Must remember bug wipes too.... deer flies bombarded me like I was a tasty treat! So now I'm lumpy, sweaty, out of breath and itchy.
I'm going to do the slow crawl tomorrow and bring the little camera.
The woods are quite nice. If I can find the path for the bikes this time, I should hit the marshes and the cove. A nice dip in the water and then head home would be refreshing. And there are no sharks in the cove. Lots of shark sightings off the beaches this week.
