A new day

Well for all who have followed me, I am now on a new quest.  I am planning on riding across the country, and I decided that I should really start training for it. 

I started out going to Colorado to get some "hill" training.  I was so proud I rode some monster hill (at least they were for me), but when I got back, I - well I don't know what I did, but I couldn't swim and I couldn't ride. 

So much for getting ready starting first of September.  Six months to get in shape - Yikes.  Now I only have five months.  Double yikes!!!

So I am starting out again.  October 1st.  I went for a bike ride and I picked the flattest ride I could find.  Hmm.  It would have been really easy if I didn't have to ride back into a headwind.  Though it wasn't as bad as it has been (about 10 knots - I know I know that is barely a breeze but for me it was more like a gale)  but I was glad when it was done.  Let's see - hill - wind- hill - wind.  It is a toss up.

But the worse part of it was the minute I got on the bike I had to go to the bathroom.  Okay fine I started in a park so they have bathrooms in the park, but - like - not what I would call clean.  But the good news is India taught me how to use bathrooms not up to my five star standards.  Which I think will do me good on this upcoming trip. 

Tomorrow another ride (hmm - hill or wind) I will let you know.
