I'm a Biker?

Just a bicycle, nothing motorized here.  It has been about 15 years since I last rode a bike around for fun or for exercise.  I was planning on swimming but once I got to the pool I had forgotten the old ladies water aerobics class was in the pool.  Boy did I look strange standing there in my 'speedo' with my kick board and pull buoy.  I quickly did a 180° and changed, and drove back home wondering what to do.  I was hoping since we just moved, that I was able to drag my bicycle out of my packed garage.  Now, backtrack to when we just moved into Northampton Borough and lived in town with plenty of side walks and parks.  My wife and I decided to buy each other bicycles for our wedding anniversary four years ago.  Fast forward to today, and this was the first time I was riding it for the purpose I bought it :-).   I started out a bit wobbly, but the saying is true, "It's just like riding a bike."  Our neighborhood is perfect to ride.  Not much traffic, some hills and scenic.  I rode for about a half hour because the burning sensation in my legs and shins was not pleasurable, and plus, the uncomfortableness in my groin area was not something I remembered when I was younger.  Ouch!  It felt great climbing those hills, determined to make it to the top without getting off.  I'm one leg away from a triathlon, and, well, 2 legs away from actually running :-p.  I don't do land sports, well I'll bike, but that's the extent of it.  My new 'diet' and exercise seem to be paying off.  Here's to adding a new link to my 'new me.'
