Shorts Arrive!

I can hardly believe it when I check the mail tonight. My new shorts have arrived! Talk about instant gratification! I try on the shorts and they fit, or at least fit how I think super padded shorts should fit. They feel funny, but I know they’ll improve the comfort of my rides.

I haul the bike upstairs for the first time by myself (since Pete is in Dallas this week) and manage to get the bike onto the trainer. Remember, the last time I was on the trainer, I pulled the bike over on top of me and landed on the rollers, so I’m real excited about being on the trainer when I’m the only one home.

I ran errands on the way home tonight, so I’m home later than I’d like to be and have to eat first. That means I have to wait a bit for dinner to digest. It’s after 9:00 by the time I’m gearing up and climbing on the bike. I turn on the t.v. and don’t bother to pull up any of the recorded shows. I’m not really feeling like riding, but I know I need to. I decide to make it a short, but powerful, ride and call it a night.

Thirty minutes later, I’m drenched and truly tired now. I somehow manage to carefully hobble off of the bike on the trainer. I’ve discovered the challenge in getting off the bike on the trainer lately is the fact that I now wear bike shoes. I’m just short and it’s a challenge. The bike and trainer are still standing, so I gather my gear, haul the bike downstairs, and call it a night.
