Took Mountain Rex on his first ride to Walmart. We got splashed by a big truck, then MR decided, "Hey! Let's just splash ourselves!" as we rode through a deep pool of cold water on the road. Needless to say, it was an interesting ride.
The best part about the 23 mile trip was having awesome suspension. Next, would be my right knee not hurting. I've never had a trip in yet where I didn't think my right knee would be shredded. Quite a few people who ride bent bikes all have the same problem - trying to find the right way to pedal without our knees hurting. So far, I've not mastered it.
On the downside, that bloody seat on the mountain bike, even with the new gel cover, is nothing short of brutal. It was ok for the first 12 miles, but after that it was hell on earth getting back.
All in all, though, it was a great trip. I could ride as aggressively as I wanted without worrying about killing the bike, and I got to enjoy getting out of the cottage after days of rain, and countless hours at the computer hammering out my nanowrimo novel, which got done 8 days ahead of time.
Total miles so far this month: 102.22.

I have all my exercise equipment in my TV room now and I work out every day now. Making a big difference! Thinking of that bike seat hurts me!
Thinking of that bike seat makes me hurt too. LOL
Glad you're getting in your exercise every day. I've just now started back again. This morning, actually. It felt good, but I'm already sore. LOL Talk about being out of shape. : )
