Nothing Like the First Ride
While at work around 1:00, I got a call from REI, letting me know that my new bike had come in and was ready for me to pick up at the store. As soon as I got home exhausted from work, I made a peanut butter and Nutella sandwich, grabbed my helmet, and walked (more like speed walked) a half mile to REI. I biked home to drop off the user manual, then decided to go for a ride. I ended up going for a 12 mile bike ride, something I never do without my camel back, or at least a water bottle. I got home so dehydrated (from not only the ride, but from work too), that I ended up drinking about a gallon of water in a half hour.
The ride was so much fun. I ended up going on a trail that I had taken my hybrid bike on before, but was a very rough ride, and I had to go slow. With this new mountain bike, I was able to plow through the trail finishing it in no time at all.
So much fun.
