Rode the Ole Infinity to work today. 7.9 miles, average speed 9.6!!! (LOL!) 42.something minutes. That one hill over the highway was my slow point...down to like 3 MPH!! I haven't ridden in a couple of years, except for the rides around town with the kiddos.

Thus begins my 'training' for when the SF is built and I can really cruise...maybe I'll consider the electric assist!!:eek::D

Day two. Uneventful. About the same stats. Feel a little bit better today, still somewhat tired...I'm not 20 anymore!!! Wow. It sure does feel good to ride again though. When I was 20 I used to ride to work all the time on a wedgie!! And I thought that was cool! man I wish I'd known about 'bents back then!!

Can't wait to get started on the Street Fighter and am really considering adding electric assist!! LOL!:eek:

Just don't blow out your knees on that hill. I always do that when I am outta shape and decide to race some twenty-something spandex clad roadie up a hill. Then it takes me a week to recover. Best to take it easy for the first week or two.

Well day three was back in the auto, because of a fast for the Dr. in the afternoon, didn't feel like riding only to have myself die on the side of the road due to no energy or way to get it...then I get home eat mow the lawn...couple hours after feels like my right leg has growing pains!!!:eek:

Get up this morning pains still there, so I opt for the car again, besides not wanting to come to work, just felt 'tired.' Be back on the 'bent tomorrow, loaded up with ibuprofen and food!! Hope fully I can add some pics of the ride.
