I Want to Ride My Bicycle
One of my goals for this summer is to get back on my bike. It has been a while since I have put any real miles on the bike, not even counting last summer where it wasn’t an option. So help set the mood, we’ll start off with Queen.
I did manage to get in the first ride today. A whopping 1.5 miles around the neighborhood. But I’m fine with starting small and working my way up. I only have no idea how the knee is going to react to the rides, and the last thing that I need to do it sabotage myself right out of the gate. Overall, the ride felt pretty good, but I was way too winded at the end for it only being 1.5 miles. Not that I was surprised by that though.
The actual goal breaks down like this. I want to get in a 100 miles total in the month of May. Then increase that to 200 in June, 300 in July, and 400 in August. I’m not sure if 500 in September is possible, but it is on the list. Technically, those mileage goals are not limited to the bike. If I go out and walk another mile today, then I’ll count that toward the goal as well. However, I imagine that the majority of it will come on the bike.
Here are the stats for the ride.
Distance: 1.54 miles
Time: 0:07:55
Avg Speed: 11.7 MPH
Max Speed: 15.2 MPH
