My daughters have been riding bikes for a while now and have been wanting me to join them (for health improvement) but I have not been on a bike for 31 years. Friday I finally caved and bought a CL special, did a tune up on it, and rode a 6 mile trail through the woods today...DAMN I'M OUT OF SHAPE...thought I was going to have an infarction the first 10 minutes. My legs burned like I was running through hells fire for a beer. After the ride was over, I caught my breath, coughed for 10 minutes, and came to the conclusion that I really wasn't going to die after all, I realized it felt like someone hit me in the groin with a baseball bat. But after waddling around like a penguin for an hour most of the pain had subsided and I began to feel pretty good about my accomplishment of starting a healthier lifestyle. Anybody want to buy a cheap mountain bike? Just kidding about selling...I did enjoy the serenity of the woods, and the lake views from the trail.
