DAY 1 - WORKOUT - The Bike Ride

Today I was sitting at home creating this blog and suddenly started to get hungry. Well no wonder it was after noon and I hadn't eaten a thing. I looked and saw that there really wasn't anything to eat in the house, so I decided to go to Subway to get a sandwich - ON MY BIKE!

To the left is my bike which has not been out of the garage more than once since I bought it about a year ago. Needless to say I had to go and get some air in the tires before I could undergo my journey. At about 1:40 p.m. in the heat of the day and starving like a bear after hibernation, I set out to go and get something to eat at Subway while exchanging videos at Blockbuster on the way.

THE WORKOUT: Ride Mountain bike 2.8 miles round trip to exchange videos and eat lunch.

This doesn't sound too difficult for most people, but I am pretty sure I exceed the weight parameters on my bike and haven't ridden a bike for any kind of distance in about 20 years. I remember I loved to ride my bike all over North Little Rock, Arkansas as a kid. I lived by the YMCA on JFK and would ride to the Scorecard card shop located around McCain and JFK. For a 10-15 year old boy this was a great distance on a busy street. Anyway back to today's journey. About a half a mile into the ride, my handle bars became loose and were now twisting up and down the rest of the way because I didn't think to bring a "Allen Wrench" - Stupid Me! But even though this occurred, the trip was successful.
