I decided to start this blog after a futile search for one written by someone else beginning to ride a bike for sport, physical fitness, or just for the challenge. Frankly, I was looking for a little, indirect, moral support. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find what I was hoping for. Oh, there is a lot of very technical info on beginning cycling. What I couldn't find was the good stuff. The down and dirty stuff. The "My legs, shoulders and butt are killing me" stuff. I needed to know that I'm not the only one talking myself up a hill as other riders pass me by. So, I got to thinking that maybe I'm not the only one looking for some anonymous (or not so anonymous) moral support. That, along with some cajoling from my husband, made me decide to take the leap and chronicle my own experiences.
I hope that someone else is able to find a bit of the camaraderie I was looking forward to finding. At the very least, I hope I am able to look back a year from now and see just how far I have come.
