Back in the Saddle Time.

I can feel the affects or is it effects of taking the winter off from biking. My butt hurts! One day of biking and being back in the saddle is tough. I feel every bump and it's impossible to feel comfortable riding for a long time. It's time to get back into the saddle, regardless of some minor start up butt pain. This too shall pass with more time riding. 

We had to do a little bike maintenance before riding. The tires needed a little air. Why we didn't do this yesterday after our ride? Would have made this morning a bit easier to get going faster without having to do all this bike prep. At least it's done and we are set to ride. 

Don't laugh at my goofy new yellow tinted riding glasses. They are the best for a gloomy day. It just makes everything much brighter looking and they keep my eyes safe from flying bugs or rocks. They might look funny, but I don't mind one bit since they make the world look so much brighter! 

Steve realized quickly that he could use a few new things for his brand new bike. He thought it would be an easy switch out from his old bike to the new one but come to find out, the old stuff doesn't exactly work with the new bike. Here's the list of what we need to get:
1. A Cell phone pouch attached to the bike. 
2. Water bottle holder w/a new water bottle
3. Air pump tire adapter (2)
4. New cage-less and clip on less pedals for the tri bike. 
5. Water backpacks (not sure what they really call these things?) Easy access to water with a tube. 
6. Clear glasses or yellow tinted for Steve. 

We just road a quick 9 miles on a dirt road loop close to home. I am hoping now that Steve has a good mountain bike, he will be up for some trail rides at the local park. 

Last night we had our 2nd bonfire of the year and the kids slept out in the tent. I put up the smaller tent since it was never put away last year. I think we need one that sleeps 12. I'm all about comfort and room to move around. Camping here we come... soon!
