The latest thing in my life is I'm back on my bike. It's been a few years, not sure how many. I been focusing on weight lifting, power lifting mostly. I'm overweight and the short bike rides (2) so far have let me know I'm too heavy. So adjustments I shall make. First ride yesterday, only about 15 minutes as a test ride. Today did about 30 minutes. A few inclines to get heart rate up, legs need some training for sure, but my breathing and cardio feels good. I was surprised I didn't feel overly winded. I sure felt like I was putting strong effort to the pedals. So I'm secretly planning to commute to work soon, next week seems a good time to start. I figure a few more neighborhood rides to get legs back in the groove a little. It's only a 3 mile each way trip. A few inclines on roads, then onto bike trail and boom, I'm there. Start ride at 330 am , kinda sucks, but also no or very few cars on roads .
I purchased a new set of tail lights and a headband style white light. I'll probably get a handle bar mounted light also. I'll probably take at shower at work upon arrival. I sweat easily. So even a 3 mile ride I'll prefer to shower up .
