The view over the barsOriginally uploaded by heavdog.Here it is folks – proof. Proof of not only a lovely evening (and spectacular sunset – have to check out my Flickr photos for more pics), but also that I did it: I got on my bike. Woohoo! I’ve been so remiss, so not in tune with the cyclist in me. It’s been all about the water this summer, I’ve been swimming, quite a bit, made it over 1/2 mile yesterday (1km, actually). With the hot weather, it’s been much more inviting to jump in the water. But today was slightly cooler, and by 8pm, it was rather inviting for a ride. So I pulled out the ‘bent, dusted off my cleats, and took the electric pumpkin for a spin…What have I been waiting for?As always, one little ride (ten miles for this one) can just put me back in the zone, make me crave more. If it hadn’t been getting dark, and had I had some sort of lights (didn’t even have my blinkie!), I might have put in another ten. Can you say obsessive? Nah, not me!But in all seriousness, it’s time. Time for me to, as Luka Bloom sings, “get up on your bike! pedal on pedal on pedal on for miles, pedal on…”
