Journey back to being fit
When I moved to California I was not able to go to the gym everyday like I was in Virginia. With my current situation with the bearing on my car and living so far away from everything the gym is not an option right now. When I was younger I used to ride a road bike with a neighbor, but in this area people did not seem to care too much about the safety or right of way of cyclists and being 13 or 14 it was not safe for me to ride alone with that driver mentality.
I recently picked my bike up from my storage unit to see about replacing the tires which we thought had become damaged from dryrot. Not the case. I purchased a new pump that will handle a tube with a presta valve and went on my first ride tonight. While I did well, it really let me know just how out of shape I have become.
Tommorrow night I plan on riding 10 miles, but considering riding to exhaustion so that when I ride in an area that is not a circuit I know I can get back. I’m really excited though. When I worked out I had a blast and when I would ride all the time I was excited so the two should put me in a better place not just physically but also mentally.
P.S. I have felt like crap today which hasn’t helped much
