It was the perfect morning. It's been in the 70s and 80s today with a gentle breeze. At first I was huffin and puffin a little bit, but by about 10 minutes into the ride, I was more interested in counting the number of turtles sunbathing in the creek than feeling like I was going to die. My cardio came back to me. I was golden. Yay!
My first ride was about 6 miles. When I got home Eric decided he'd join me on my afternoon ride (yes, I was jonesing to go back out and 'discover' more of the local terrain). So, off we went in a different direction. This one was less creek, more vineyards and farmland.
I swear the next time, I'm bringing some cash and my ID and we're stoping at one of the hundreds of wineries in Sonoma County. Eric brough along a Twisted Lemonade...lol.
We ended up going 6 miles round trip. 10 miles in all today. Not bad for my first time out in years, and for being as out of shape as I am! I think I've found a new hobby. Eric had a great time too, you could tell. Lots of goofing around and we had fun chatting the whole time. We took a few rest breaks. I think the highlight was riding a long the trail at a leisurely 8 MPH and being passed by a runner! LMAO! I can't wait till next weekend. I'm setting my sites on another local trail to try out. I promise to bring my camera next time, too.
All in all, a great day, good exercise, and actually pretty romantic once Eric came along.
I'm a happy girl. All thanks to this girl. :)
