I have Monday off so here's to a 3 day weekend. Yippee!!
It started out cold today but warmed up into the mid 60's so I took the dogs for their walks.
Then I tried out my bike! Yes bike as in bicycle! I haven't ridden in a long time but a friend of hubby had a few bikes he was getting rid of so we sold one at a garage sale hubby was having anyway, and I told him I wanted to buy the other one. It is nothing fancy but looks brand new. It is a Huffy female riding bike with wider tires that those newer bikes that have really skinny tires.
I made it around the block but the seat really HURT my butt! I hope I can get more used to it because it is really uncomfortable. I don't recall the seat ever hurting my butt when I was a kid. I used to ride my bike a LOT! I'm not used to hand brakes either. Mine were just in the pedals (just pedaled backwards to stop - slowly). It is hard to explain but it was easy to stop. I just hope the hand brakes don't jolt me off the bike. :-) I'm not used to more than 3 speeds either so that is something else I have to adjust to.
There is a new SNL on tonight so I'm looking forward to that. No big plans tomorrow. I should get a helmet before I ride my bike too much but I may take it around the block a few times tomorrow to see if it feels any better. Fingers crossed!
