" I'm LoViN mY nEw FaVoRiTe HoBBy, CyCliNg ! "
Well i thought i would do a post on my new favorite hobby! So here go's, back in Feb. a friend @ my work ( my supervisor ), Kim Johnson, asked if i would be interested in going rode cycling with her & her husband once in awhile. Well, rode bikes are not cheap, so i told her i would start to save my money & we would see. It sounded like a lot of fun so i kept thinking that i would put a little money away every pay check & we would go from there. When andy & i got our stimulus taxes back he let me put it all in savings, (thanks, Baba,Andy boy :) Well in between all of this my neighbor wanted 2 buy my 4-wheeler, so i sold it & bought a RHINO. Well there went most of my money for the down payment on the RHINO! I was okay with that cause we really needed more space 4 our kids when we are in the mountains. I just kept saving a little, then about a month ago one of the girls that is in the riding group decided 2 sale her bike that she had just bought in may. She was ready to upgrade. So 2 make a longer story short. I bought it!!! YEAH, it was the best thing to buy @ the time cause she gave me a slammin deal. So im glad i waited. So 4 almost two months now i've been faithfully riding with a great bunch of riders. my first ride was to kayenta. About 34 miles. I was sooo... sick with a sinus infection, but was bound & determined 2 go! So i did. It was hard as HELL!!! But now it makes the ride every sunday morning that much easier,now that i'm not sick. The first 16 miles 2 Kayenta r all up hill so it is a reward when we get 2 the coffee shop to have our latte's & breakfast. Ive now been on four early morning, sunday coffee rides, & try 2 go with the riding gang at least 2 days during the week, 4 the 25 mile fields ride. I rode the first two rides with out my clip in peddles, but now i got them & im getting better @ them. I love it & im getting OBSESSED ! It is too much fun & there r lots if cool people riding. We have any where from 5 to 15 people or more, just depending on the day or ride. Dave & Kim r having jersey's made up for us so we all look the same, they will have pizza factory, (since the r owners), Dats trucking, (owners, in our group), & the post office logo's,(since a few of us work there), on them & our names. We will all look the same. It should be awesome! Well so now u know about my new OBBSESSION. Also i love spin class on wed. @ the rec. center w/ Mel, Marett, Chris & Shalyn. So i get 2 cycle about 4 times a week! I LOVE IT !!!!
